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 + -4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1.5' to each side of the equation.
1.5 + -4m + -1.5 + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Reorder the terms:
1.5 + -1.5 + -4m + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -4m + m2 = 0 + -1.5
-4m + m2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
-4m + m2 = -1.5

The m term is -4m.  Take half its coefficient (-2).
Square it (4) and add it to both sides.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4m + 4 + m2 = -1.5 + 4

Reorder the terms:
4 + -4m + m2 = -1.5 + 4

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 4 = 2.5
4 + -4m + m2 = 2.5

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -2)(m + -2) = 2.5
