Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
7.5 + -6m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation.
7.5 + -6m + -7.5 + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Reorder the terms:
7.5 + -7.5 + -6m + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -6m + m2 = 0 + -7.5
-6m + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -7.5 = -7.5
-6m + m2 = -7.5

The m term is -6m.  Take half its coefficient (-3).
Square it (9) and add it to both sides.

Add '9' to each side of the equation.
-6m + 9 + m2 = -7.5 + 9

Reorder the terms:
9 + -6m + m2 = -7.5 + 9

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 9 = 1.5
9 + -6m + m2 = 1.5
