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

Divide each side by '2'.
-10.5 + 2.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '10.5' to each side of the equation.
-10.5 + 2.5m + 10.5 + m2 = 0 + 10.5

Reorder the terms:
-10.5 + 10.5 + 2.5m + m2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: -10.5 + 10.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 2.5m + m2 = 0 + 10.5
2.5m + m2 = 0 + 10.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 10.5 = 10.5
2.5m + m2 = 10.5

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 = 10.5 + 1.5625

Reorder the terms:
1.5625 + 2.5m + m2 = 10.5 + 1.5625

Combine like terms: 10.5 + 1.5625 = 12.0625
1.5625 + 2.5m + m2 = 12.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1.25)(m + 1.25) = 12.0625
