Solving for variable 'p'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.2 + -1.8p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.2' to each side of the equation.
0.2 + -1.8p + -0.2 + p2 = 0 + -0.2

Reorder the terms:
0.2 + -0.2 + -1.8p + p2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0.2 + -0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.8p + p2 = 0 + -0.2
-1.8p + p2 = 0 + -0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.2 = -0.2
-1.8p + p2 = -0.2

The p term is -1.8p.  Take half its coefficient (-0.9).
Square it (0.81) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.81' to each side of the equation.
-1.8p + 0.81 + p2 = -0.2 + 0.81

Reorder the terms:
0.81 + -1.8p + p2 = -0.2 + 0.81

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.81 = 0.61
0.81 + -1.8p + p2 = 0.61

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -0.9)(p + -0.9) = 0.61

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.781024968

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(p + -0.9) equal to 0.781024968 and -0.781024968.

Subproblem 1

p + -0.9 = 0.781024968 Simplifying p + -0.9 = 0.781024968 Reorder the terms: -0.9 + p = 0.781024968 Solving -0.9 + p = 0.781024968 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.9' to each side of the equation. -0.9 + 0.9 + p = 0.781024968 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0 0.0 + p = 0.781024968 + 0.9 p = 0.781024968 + 0.9 Combine like terms: 0.781024968 + 0.9 = 1.681024968 p = 1.681024968 Simplifying p = 1.681024968

Subproblem 2

p + -0.9 = -0.781024968 Simplifying p + -0.9 = -0.781024968 Reorder the terms: -0.9 + p = -0.781024968 Solving -0.9 + p = -0.781024968 Solving for variable 'p'. Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.9' to each side of the equation. -0.9 + 0.9 + p = -0.781024968 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.9 = 0.0 0.0 + p = -0.781024968 + 0.9 p = -0.781024968 + 0.9 Combine like terms: -0.781024968 + 0.9 = 0.118975032 p = 0.118975032 Simplifying p = 0.118975032
