Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-8 + -6m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -8 + -6m + m2 = 0 Solving -8 + -6m + m2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '8' to each side of the equation. -8 + -6m + 8 + m2 = 0 + 8 Reorder the terms: -8 + 8 + -6m + m2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0 0 + -6m + m2 = 0 + 8 -6m + m2 = 0 + 8 Combine like terms: 0 + 8 = 8 -6m + m2 = 8 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 = 8 + 9 Reorder the terms: 9 + -6m + m2 = 8 + 9 Combine like terms: 8 + 9 = 17 9 + -6m + m2 = 17 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (m + -3)(m + -3) = 17 Calculate the square root of the right side: 4.123105626 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (m + -3) equal to 4.123105626 and -4.123105626.

Subproblem 1

m + -3 = 4.123105626 Simplifying m + -3 = 4.123105626 Reorder the terms: -3 + m = 4.123105626 Solving -3 + m = 4.123105626 Solving for variable 'm'.
