50 + -12p + p2 = 0

Solving for variable 'p'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-50' to each side of the equation.
50 + -12p + -50 + p2 = 0 + -50

Reorder the terms:
50 + -50 + -12p + p2 = 0 + -50

Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0
0 + -12p + p2 = 0 + -50
-12p + p2 = 0 + -50

Combine like terms: 0 + -50 = -50
-12p + p2 = -50

The p term is -12p.  Take half its coefficient (-6).
Square it (36) and add it to both sides.

Add '36' to each side of the equation.
-12p + 36 + p2 = -50 + 36

Reorder the terms:
36 + -12p + p2 = -50 + 36

Combine like terms: -50 + 36 = -14
36 + -12p + p2 = -14

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(p + -6)(p + -6) = -14

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
