Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + p + -16 + p2 = 0 + -16

Reorder the terms:
16 + -16 + p + p2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + p + p2 = 0 + -16
p + p2 = 0 + -16

Combine like terms: 0 + -16 = -16
p + p2 = -16

The p term is p.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
p + 0.25 + p2 = -16 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + p + p2 = -16 + 0.25

Combine like terms: -16 + 0.25 = -15.75
0.25 + p + p2 = -15.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + 0.5)(p + 0.5) = -15.75
