Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '4'.
-0.5 + -0.25m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.5' to each side of the equation.
-0.5 + -0.25m + 0.5 + m2 = 0 + 0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.5 + 0.5 + -0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.5
-0.25m + m2 = 0 + 0.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
-0.25m + m2 = 0.5

The m term is -0.25m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25m + 0.015625 + m2 = 0.5 + 0.015625

Reorder the terms:
0.015625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.5 + 0.015625

Combine like terms: 0.5 + 0.015625 = 0.515625
0.015625 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.515625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.125)(m + -0.125) = 0.515625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.718070331

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -0.125) equal to 0.718070331 and -0.718070331.

Subproblem 1

m + -0.125 = 0.718070331 Simplifying m + -0.125 = 0.718070331 Reorder the terms: -0.125 + m = 0.718070331 Solving -0.125 + m = 0.718070331 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.125' to each side of the equation. -0.125 + 0.125 + m = 0.718070331 + 0.125 Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000 0.000 + m = 0.718070331 + 0.125 m = 0.718070331 + 0.125 Combine like terms: 0.718070331 + 0.125 = 0.843070331 m = 0.843070331 Simplifying m = 0.843070331

Subproblem 2

m + -0.125 = -0.718070331 Simplifying m + -0.125 = -0.718070331 Reorder the terms: -0.125 + m = -0.718070331 Solving -0.125 + m = -0.718070331 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.125' to each side of the equation. -0.125 + 0.125 + m = -0.718070331 + 0.125 Combine like terms: -0.125 + 0.125 = 0.000 0.000 + m = -0.718070331 + 0.125 m = -0.718070331 + 0.125 Combine like terms: -0.718070331 + 0.125 = -0.593070331 m = -0.593070331 Simplifying m = -0.593070331
