Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '2'.
0.5 + -2m2 + m4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -2m2 + -0.5 + m4 = 0 + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + -0.5 + -2m2 + m4 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -2m2 + m4 = 0 + -0.5
-2m2 + m4 = 0 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.5 = -0.5
-2m2 + m4 = -0.5

The m term is -2m2.  Take half its coefficient (-1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
-2m2 + 1 + m4 = -0.5 + 1
