Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-8.5 + 1.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '8.5' to each side of the equation.
-8.5 + 1.5m + 8.5 + m2 = 0 + 8.5

Reorder the terms:
-8.5 + 8.5 + 1.5m + m2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: -8.5 + 8.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.5m + m2 = 0 + 8.5
1.5m + m2 = 0 + 8.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 8.5 = 8.5
1.5m + m2 = 8.5

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 = 8.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + 1.5m + m2 = 8.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 8.5 + 0.5625 = 9.0625
0.5625 + 1.5m + m2 = 9.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.75)(m + 0.75) = 9.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.010398645
