Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
5 + 8.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + 8.5m + -5 + m2 = 0 + -5

Reorder the terms:
5 + -5 + 8.5m + m2 = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + 8.5m + m2 = 0 + -5
8.5m + m2 = 0 + -5
