Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '25'.
-0.04 + -0.8m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
-0.04 + -0.8m + 0.04 + m2 = 0 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
-0.04 + 0.04 + -0.8m + m2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: -0.04 + 0.04 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.8m + m2 = 0 + 0.04
-0.8m + m2 = 0 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.04 = 0.04
-0.8m + m2 = 0.04

The m term is -0.8m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
-0.8m + 0.16 + m2 = 0.04 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + -0.8m + m2 = 0.04 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 0.04 + 0.16 = 0.2
0.16 + -0.8m + m2 = 0.2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.4)(m + -0.4) = 0.2

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.447213596

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -0.4) equal to 0.447213596 and -0.447213596.

Subproblem 1

m + -0.4 = 0.447213596 Simplifying m + -0.4 = 0.447213596 Reorder the terms: -0.4 + m = 0.447213596 Solving -0.4 + m = 0.447213596 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.4' to each side of the equation. -0.4 + 0.4 + m = 0.447213596 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 0.447213596 + 0.4 m = 0.447213596 + 0.4 Combine like terms: 0.447213596 + 0.4 = 0.847213596 m = 0.847213596 Simplifying m = 0.847213596

Subproblem 2

m + -0.4 = -0.447213596 Simplifying m + -0.4 = -0.447213596 Reorder the terms: -0.4 + m = -0.447213596 Solving -0.4 + m = -0.447213596 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.4' to each side of the equation. -0.4 + 0.4 + m = -0.447213596 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.4 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -0.447213596 + 0.4 m = -0.447213596 + 0.4 Combine like terms: -0.447213596 + 0.4 = -0.047213596 m = -0.047213596 Simplifying m = -0.047213596
