Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-4.6 + -1.2p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4.6' to each side of the equation.
-4.6 + -1.2p + 4.6 + p2 = 0 + 4.6

Reorder the terms:
-4.6 + 4.6 + -1.2p + p2 = 0 + 4.6

Combine like terms: -4.6 + 4.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.2p + p2 = 0 + 4.6
-1.2p + p2 = 0 + 4.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 4.6 = 4.6
-1.2p + p2 = 4.6

The p term is -1.2p.  Take half its coefficient (-0.6).
Square it (0.36) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.36' to each side of the equation.
-1.2p + 0.36 + p2 = 4.6 + 0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -1.2p + p2 = 4.6 + 0.36

Combine like terms: 4.6 + 0.36 = 4.96
0.36 + -1.2p + p2 = 4.96

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -0.6)(p + -0.6) = 4.96

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.227105745
