Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.36' to each side of the equation.
0.36 + -1.2p + -0.36 + p2 = 0 + -0.36

Reorder the terms:
0.36 + -0.36 + -1.2p + p2 = 0 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 0.36 + -0.36 = 0.00
0.00 + -1.2p + p2 = 0 + -0.36
-1.2p + p2 = 0 + -0.36

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.36 = -0.36
-1.2p + p2 = -0.36

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 = -0.36 + 0.36

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

Combine like terms: -0.36 + 0.36 = 0.00
0.36 + -1.2p + p2 = 0.00

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -0.6)(p + -0.6) = 0.00
