Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
3.5 + 4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation.
3.5 + 4m + -3.5 + m2 = 0 + -3.5

Reorder the terms:
3.5 + -3.5 + 4m + m2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 4m + m2 = 0 + -3.5
4m + m2 = 0 + -3.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -3.5 = -3.5
4m + m2 = -3.5

The m term is 4m.  Take half its coefficient (2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
4m + 4 + m2 = -3.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + 4m + m2 = -3.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -3.5 + 4 = 0.5
4 + 4m + m2 = 0.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 2)(m + 2) = 0.5
