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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.8 + 0.4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + 0.4m + 0.8 + m2 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + 0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.8
0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
0.4m + m2 = 0.8

The m term is 0.4m.  Take half its coefficient (0.2).
Square it (0.04) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.04' to each side of the equation.
0.4m + 0.04 + m2 = 0.8 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + 0.4m + m2 = 0.8 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 0.04 = 0.84
0.04 + 0.4m + m2 = 0.84

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.2)(m + 0.2) = 0.84
