Solving
-2 + -2p + 5p2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The p term is -0.4p.  Take half its coefficient (-0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.4p + 0.04 + p2 = 0.4 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4p + p2 = 0.4 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.4 + 0.04 = 0.44
0.04 + -0.4p + p2 = 0.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -0.2)(p + -0.2) = 0.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.663324958

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + -0.2) equal to 0.663324958 and -0.663324958.

Subproblem 1

p + -0.2 = 0.663324958 Simplifying p + -0.2 = 0.663324958 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + p = 0.663324958 Solving -0.2 + p = 0.663324958 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + p = 0.663324958 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + p = 0.663324958 + 0.2 p = 0.663324958 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 0.663324958 + 0.2 = 0.863324958 p = 0.863324958 Simplifying p = 0.863324958

Subproblem 2

p + -0.2 = -0.663324958 Simplifying p + -0.2 = -0.663324958 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + p = -0.663324958 Solving -0.2 + p = -0.663324958 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + p = -0.663324958 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + p = -0.663324958 + 0.2 p = -0.663324958 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.663324958 + 0.2 = -0.463324958 p = -0.463324958 Simplifying p = -0.463324958
