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

Divide each side by '5'.
1.4 + 4.4p + p2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.4' to each side of the equation.
1.4 + 4.4p + -1.4 + p2 = 0 + -1.4

Reorder the terms:
1.4 + -1.4 + 4.4p + p2 = 0 + -1.4

Combine like terms: 1.4 + -1.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 4.4p + p2 = 0 + -1.4
4.4p + p2 = 0 + -1.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.4 = -1.4
4.4p + p2 = -1.4

The p term is 4.4p.  Take half its coefficient (2.2).
Square it (4.84) and add it to both sides.

Add '4.84' to each side of the equation.
4.4p + 4.84 + p2 = -1.4 + 4.84

Reorder the terms:
4.84 + 4.4p + p2 = -1.4 + 4.84

Combine like terms: -1.4 + 4.84 = 3.44
4.84 + 4.4p + p2 = 3.44
