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 + 3m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + 3m + -0.5 + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + 3m + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 3m + m2 = 0 + -0.5
3m + m2 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
3m + m2 = -0.5

The m term is 3m.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3m + 2.25 + m2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3m + m2 = -0.5 + 2.25

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 2.25 = 1.75
2.25 + 3m + m2 = 1.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1.5)(m + 1.5) = 1.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.322875656

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + 1.5) equal to 1.322875656 and -1.322875656.

Subproblem 1

m + 1.5 = 1.322875656 Simplifying m + 1.5 = 1.322875656 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + m = 1.322875656 Solving 1.5 + m = 1.322875656 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + m = 1.322875656 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 1.322875656 + -1.5 m = 1.322875656 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.322875656 + -1.5 = -0.177124344 m = -0.177124344 Simplifying m = -0.177124344

Subproblem 2

m + 1.5 = -1.322875656 Simplifying m + 1.5 = -1.322875656 Reorder the terms: 1.5 + m = -1.322875656 Solving 1.5 + m = -1.322875656 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation. 1.5 + -1.5 + m = -1.322875656 + -1.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -1.322875656 + -1.5 m = -1.322875656 + -1.5 Combine like terms: -1.322875656 + -1.5 = -2.822875656 m = -2.822875656 Simplifying m = -2.822875656
