Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
7 + 8.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.
7 + 8.5m + -7 + m2 = 0 + -7

Reorder the terms:
7 + -7 + 8.5m + m2 = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0
0 + 8.5m + m2 = 0 + -7
8.5m + m2 = 0 + -7

Combine like terms: 0 + -7 = -7
8.5m + m2 = -7

The m term is 8.5m.  Take half its coefficient (4.25).
Square it (18.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '18.0625' to each side of the equation.
8.5m + 18.0625 + m2 = -7 + 18.0625

Reorder the terms:
18.0625 + 8.5m + m2 = -7 + 18.0625

Combine like terms: -7 + 18.0625 = 11.0625
18.0625 + 8.5m + m2 = 11.0625
