Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-65 + 2.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '65' to each side of the equation.
-65 + 2.5m + 65 + m2 = 0 + 65

Reorder the terms:
-65 + 65 + 2.5m + m2 = 0 + 65

Combine like terms: -65 + 65 = 0
0 + 2.5m + m2 = 0 + 65
2.5m + m2 = 0 + 65

Combine like terms: 0 + 65 = 65
2.5m + m2 = 65

The m term is 2.5m.  Take half its coefficient (1.25).
Square it (1.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.5625' to each side of the equation.
2.5m + 1.5625 + m2 = 65 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5m + m2 = 65 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 65 + 1.5625 = 66.5625
1.5625 + 2.5m + m2 = 66.5625
