Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-5 + -2m + m2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -5 + -2m + m2 = 0 Solving -5 + -2m + m2 = 0 Begin completing the square. Move the constant term to the right: Add '5' to each side of the equation. -5 + -2m + 5 + m2 = 0 + 5 Reorder the terms: -5 + 5 + -2m + m2 = 0 + 5 Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0 0 + -2m + m2 = 0 + 5 -2m + m2 = 0 + 5 Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5 -2m + m2 = 5 The m term is -2m. Take half its coefficient (-1). Square it (1) and add it to both sides. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -2m + 1 + m2 = 5 + 1 Reorder the terms: 1 + -2m + m2 = 5 + 1 Combine like terms: 5 + 1 = 6 1 + -2m + m2 = 6 Factor a perfect square on the left side: (m + -1)(m + -1) = 6 Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.449489743 Break this problem into two subproblems by setting (m + -1) equal to 2.449489743 and -2.449489743.

Subproblem 1

m + -1 = 2.449489743 Simplifying m + -1 = 2.449489743 Reorder the terms: -1 + m = 2.449489743 Solving -1 + m = 2.449489743 Solving for variable 'm'.
