Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-13 + -8.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '13' to each side of the equation.
-13 + -8.5m + 13 + m2 = 0 + 13

Reorder the terms:
-13 + 13 + -8.5m + m2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: -13 + 13 = 0
0 + -8.5m + m2 = 0 + 13
-8.5m + m2 = 0 + 13

Combine like terms: 0 + 13 = 13
-8.5m + m2 = 13

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 = 13 + 18.0625

Reorder the terms:
18.0625 + -8.5m + m2 = 13 + 18.0625

Combine like terms: 13 + 18.0625 = 31.0625
18.0625 + -8.5m + m2 = 31.0625
