Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + 3.2p + 0.6 + p2 = 0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + 3.2p + p2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 3.2p + p2 = 0 + 0.6
3.2p + p2 = 0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.6 = 0.6
3.2p + p2 = 0.6

The p term is 3.2p.  Take half its coefficient (1.6).
Square it (2.56) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.56' to each side of the equation.
3.2p + 2.56 + p2 = 0.6 + 2.56
