Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
-6 + -0.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + -0.5m + 6 + m2 = 0 + 6

Reorder the terms:
-6 + 6 + -0.5m + m2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -0.5m + m2 = 0 + 6
-0.5m + m2 = 0 + 6

Combine like terms: 0 + 6 = 6
-0.5m + m2 = 6

The m term is -0.5m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.25).
Square it (0.0625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.0625' to each side of the equation.
-0.5m + 0.0625 + m2 = 6 + 0.0625

Reorder the terms:
0.0625 + -0.5m + m2 = 6 + 0.0625

Combine like terms: 6 + 0.0625 = 6.0625
0.0625 + -0.5m + m2 = 6.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.25)(m + -0.25) = 6.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.46221445

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -0.25) equal to 2.46221445 and -2.46221445.

Subproblem 1

m + -0.25 = 2.46221445 Simplifying m + -0.25 = 2.46221445 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + m = 2.46221445 Solving -0.25 + m = 2.46221445 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + m = 2.46221445 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + m = 2.46221445 + 0.25 m = 2.46221445 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 2.46221445 + 0.25 = 2.71221445 m = 2.71221445 Simplifying m = 2.71221445

Subproblem 2

m + -0.25 = -2.46221445 Simplifying m + -0.25 = -2.46221445 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + m = -2.46221445 Solving -0.25 + m = -2.46221445 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + m = -2.46221445 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + m = -2.46221445 + 0.25 m = -2.46221445 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -2.46221445 + 0.25 = -2.21221445 m = -2.21221445 Simplifying m = -2.21221445
