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 + -9m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-7.5' to each side of the equation.
7.5 + -9m + -7.5 + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Reorder the terms:
7.5 + -7.5 + -9m + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 7.5 + -7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -9m + m2 = 0 + -7.5
-9m + m2 = 0 + -7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -7.5 = -7.5
-9m + m2 = -7.5

The m term is -9m.  Take half its coefficient (-4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
-9m + 20.25 + m2 = -7.5 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + -9m + m2 = -7.5 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 20.25 = 12.75
20.25 + -9m + m2 = 12.75

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -4.5)(m + -4.5) = 12.75

Calculate the square root of the right side: 3.570714214
