Solution for 2m^2+m-5= equation:


Simplifying
2m2 + m + -5 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-5 + m + 2m2 = 0

Solving
-5 + m + 2m2 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-2.5 + 0.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '2.5' to each side of the equation.
-2.5 + 0.5m + 2.5 + m2 = 0 + 2.5

Reorder the terms:
-2.5 + 2.5 + 0.5m + m2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: -2.5 + 2.5 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.5m + m2 = 0 + 2.5
0.5m + m2 = 0 + 2.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 2.5 = 2.5
0.5m + m2 = 2.5

The m term is m.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
0.5m + 0.25 + m2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + 0.5m + m2 = 2.5 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 2.5 + 0.25 = 2.75
0.25 + 0.5m + m2 = 2.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.5)(m + 0.5) = 2.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.658312395

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + 0.5) equal to 1.658312395 and -1.658312395.

Subproblem 1

m + 0.5 = 1.658312395 Simplifying m + 0.5 = 1.658312395 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + m = 1.658312395 Solving 0.5 + m = 1.658312395 Solving for variable 'm'.
