Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
2 + 3.4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + 3.4m + -2 + m2 = 0 + -2

Reorder the terms:
2 + -2 + 3.4m + m2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + 3.4m + m2 = 0 + -2
3.4m + m2 = 0 + -2

Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
3.4m + m2 = -2

The m term is 3.4m.  Take half its coefficient (1.7).
Square it (2.89) and add it to both sides.

Add '2.89' to each side of the equation.
3.4m + 2.89 + m2 = -2 + 2.89

Reorder the terms:
2.89 + 3.4m + m2 = -2 + 2.89

Combine like terms: -2 + 2.89 = 0.89
2.89 + 3.4m + m2 = 0.89

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1.7)(m + 1.7) = 0.89

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.943398113

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + 1.7) equal to 0.943398113 and -0.943398113.

Subproblem 1

m + 1.7 = 0.943398113 Simplifying m + 1.7 = 0.943398113 Reorder the terms: 1.7 + m = 0.943398113 Solving 1.7 + m = 0.943398113 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.7' to each side of the equation. 1.7 + -1.7 + m = 0.943398113 + -1.7 Combine like terms: 1.7 + -1.7 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 0.943398113 + -1.7 m = 0.943398113 + -1.7 Combine like terms: 0.943398113 + -1.7 = -0.756601887 m = -0.756601887 Simplifying m = -0.756601887

Subproblem 2

m + 1.7 = -0.943398113 Simplifying m + 1.7 = -0.943398113 Reorder the terms: 1.7 + m = -0.943398113 Solving 1.7 + m = -0.943398113 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.7' to each side of the equation. 1.7 + -1.7 + m = -0.943398113 + -1.7 Combine like terms: 1.7 + -1.7 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -0.943398113 + -1.7 m = -0.943398113 + -1.7 Combine like terms: -0.943398113 + -1.7 = -2.643398113 m = -2.643398113 Simplifying m = -2.643398113

Solution
