Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
1.5 + 6m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + 6m + -1.5 + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 6m + m2 = 0 + -1.5
6m + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
6m + m2 = -1.5

The m term is 6m.  Take half its coefficient (3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
6m + 9 + m2 = -1.5 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + 6m + m2 = -1.5 + 9

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 9 = 7.5
9 + 6m + m2 = 7.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 3)(m + 3) = 7.5

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.738612788
