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

Divide each side by '4'.
-3.75 + 3m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.75' to each side of the equation.
-3.75 + 3m + 3.75 + m2 = 0 + 3.75

Reorder the terms:
-3.75 + 3.75 + 3m + m2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: -3.75 + 3.75 = 0.00
0.00 + 3m + m2 = 0 + 3.75
3m + m2 = 0 + 3.75

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.75 = 3.75
3m + m2 = 3.75

The m term is 3m.  Take half its coefficient (1.5).
Square it (2.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.25' to each side of the equation.
3m + 2.25 + m2 = 3.75 + 2.25

Reorder the terms:
2.25 + 3m + m2 = 3.75 + 2.25

Combine like terms: 3.75 + 2.25 = 6
2.25 + 3m + m2 = 6
