Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
8 + -8.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8.5m + -8 + m2 = 0 + -8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -8 + -8.5m + m2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + -8.5m + m2 = 0 + -8
-8.5m + m2 = 0 + -8

Combine like terms: 0 + -8 = -8
-8.5m + m2 = -8

The m term is -8.5m.  Take half its coefficient (-4.25).
Square it (18.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '18.0625' to each side of the equation.
-8.5m + 18.0625 + m2 = -8 + 18.0625

Reorder the terms:
18.0625 + -8.5m + m2 = -8 + 18.0625

Combine like terms: -8 + 18.0625 = 10.0625
18.0625 + -8.5m + m2 = 10.0625
