Solving for variable 'm'.

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

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

Move the constant term to the right:

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

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

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

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

The m term is 1.5m.  Take half its coefficient (0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
1.5m + 0.5625 + m2 = 6 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5m + m2 = 6 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.5625 = 6.5625
0.5625 + 1.5m + m2 = 6.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.75)(m + 0.75) = 6.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.561737691
