Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
0.4 + 1.6m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-0.4' to each side of the equation.
0.4 + 1.6m + -0.4 + m2 = 0 + -0.4

Reorder the terms:
0.4 + -0.4 + 1.6m + m2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0.4 + -0.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 1.6m + m2 = 0 + -0.4
1.6m + m2 = 0 + -0.4

Combine like terms: 0 + -0.4 = -0.4
1.6m + m2 = -0.4

The m term is 1.6m.  Take half its coefficient (0.8).
Square it (0.64) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.64' to each side of the equation.
1.6m + 0.64 + m2 = -0.4 + 0.64

Reorder the terms:
0.64 + 1.6m + m2 = -0.4 + 0.64

Combine like terms: -0.4 + 0.64 = 0.24
0.64 + 1.6m + m2 = 0.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.8)(m + 0.8) = 0.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.489897949

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + 0.8) equal to 0.489897949 and -0.489897949.

Subproblem 1

m + 0.8 = 0.489897949 Simplifying m + 0.8 = 0.489897949 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + m = 0.489897949 Solving 0.8 + m = 0.489897949 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + m = 0.489897949 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 0.489897949 + -0.8 m = 0.489897949 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.489897949 + -0.8 = -0.310102051 m = -0.310102051 Simplifying m = -0.310102051

Subproblem 2

m + 0.8 = -0.489897949 Simplifying m + 0.8 = -0.489897949 Reorder the terms: 0.8 + m = -0.489897949 Solving 0.8 + m = -0.489897949 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.8' to each side of the equation. 0.8 + -0.8 + m = -0.489897949 + -0.8 Combine like terms: 0.8 + -0.8 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -0.489897949 + -0.8 m = -0.489897949 + -0.8 Combine like terms: -0.489897949 + -0.8 = -1.289897949 m = -1.289897949 Simplifying m = -1.289897949

Solution
