Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.4 + 0.8p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.4' to each side of the equation.
-0.4 + 0.8p + 0.4 + p2 = 0 + 0.4

Reorder the terms:
-0.4 + 0.4 + 0.8p + p2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8p + p2 = 0 + 0.4
0.8p + p2 = 0 + 0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.4 = 0.4
0.8p + p2 = 0.4

The p term is 0.8p.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8p + 0.16 + p2 = 0.4 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8p + p2 = 0.4 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.16 = 0.56
0.16 + 0.8p + p2 = 0.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.4)(p + 0.4) = 0.56
