Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
1 + 2.4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 2.4m + -1 + m2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 2.4m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 2.4m + m2 = 0 + -1
2.4m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
2.4m + m2 = -1

The m term is 2.4m.  Take half its coefficient (1.2).
Square it (1.44) and add it to both sides.

Add '1.44' to each side of the equation.
2.4m + 1.44 + m2 = -1 + 1.44

Reorder the terms:
1.44 + 2.4m + m2 = -1 + 1.44

Combine like terms: -1 + 1.44 = 0.44
1.44 + 2.4m + m2 = 0.44

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1.2)(m + 1.2) = 0.44

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.663324958

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + 1.2) equal to 0.663324958 and -0.663324958.

Subproblem 1

m + 1.2 = 0.663324958 Simplifying m + 1.2 = 0.663324958 Reorder the terms: 1.2 + m = 0.663324958 Solving 1.2 + m = 0.663324958 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.2' to each side of the equation. 1.2 + -1.2 + m = 0.663324958 + -1.2 Combine like terms: 1.2 + -1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 0.663324958 + -1.2 m = 0.663324958 + -1.2 Combine like terms: 0.663324958 + -1.2 = -0.536675042 m = -0.536675042 Simplifying m = -0.536675042

Subproblem 2

m + 1.2 = -0.663324958 Simplifying m + 1.2 = -0.663324958 Reorder the terms: 1.2 + m = -0.663324958 Solving 1.2 + m = -0.663324958 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.2' to each side of the equation. 1.2 + -1.2 + m = -0.663324958 + -1.2 Combine like terms: 1.2 + -1.2 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -0.663324958 + -1.2 m = -0.663324958 + -1.2 Combine like terms: -0.663324958 + -1.2 = -1.863324958 m = -1.863324958 Simplifying m = -1.863324958
