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

Divide each side by '5'.
-24 + 1.6m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + 1.6m + 24 + m2 = 0 + 24

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 24 + 1.6m + m2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + 1.6m + m2 = 0 + 24
1.6m + m2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: 0 + 24 = 24
1.6m + m2 = 24

The m term is 1.6m.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6m + 0.64 + m2 = 24 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6m + m2 = 24 + 0.64

Combine like terms: 24 + 0.64 = 24.64
0.64 + 1.6m + m2 = 24.64

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.8)(m + 0.8) = 24.64
