Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-1.5 + -3.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.5' to each side of the equation.
-1.5 + -3.5m + 1.5 + m2 = 0 + 1.5

Reorder the terms:
-1.5 + 1.5 + -3.5m + m2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.5m + m2 = 0 + 1.5
-3.5m + m2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
-3.5m + m2 = 1.5

The m term is -3.5m.  Take half its coefficient (-1.75).
Square it (3.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '3.0625' to each side of the equation.
-3.5m + 3.0625 + m2 = 1.5 + 3.0625

Reorder the terms:
3.0625 + -3.5m + m2 = 1.5 + 3.0625

Combine like terms: 1.5 + 3.0625 = 4.5625
3.0625 + -3.5m + m2 = 4.5625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -1.75)(m + -1.75) = 4.5625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.136000936

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -1.75) equal to 2.136000936 and -2.136000936.
