Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + 2m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 2m + -0.5 + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 2m + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2m + m2 = 0 + -0.5
2m + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
2m + m2 = -0.5

The m term is 2m.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2m + 1 + m2 = -0.5 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2m + m2 = -0.5 + 1

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 1 = 0.5
1 + 2m + m2 = 0.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1)(m + 1) = 0.5
