Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Divide each side by '5'.
-0.2 + -0.4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.2' to each side of the equation.
-0.2 + -0.4m + 0.2 + m2 = 0 + 0.2

Reorder the terms:
-0.2 + 0.2 + -0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.2
-0.4m + m2 = 0 + 0.2

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.2 = 0.2
-0.4m + m2 = 0.2

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 = 0.2 + 0.04

Reorder the terms:
0.04 + -0.4m + m2 = 0.2 + 0.04

Combine like terms: 0.2 + 0.04 = 0.24
0.04 + -0.4m + m2 = 0.24

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.2)(m + -0.2) = 0.24

Calculate the square root of the right side: 0.489897949

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -0.2) equal to 0.489897949 and -0.489897949.

Subproblem 1

m + -0.2 = 0.489897949 Simplifying m + -0.2 = 0.489897949 Reorder the terms: -0.2 + m = 0.489897949 Solving -0.2 + m = 0.489897949 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.2' to each side of the equation. -0.2 + 0.2 + m = 0.489897949 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 0.489897949 + 0.2 m = 0.489897949 + 0.2 Combine like terms: 0.489897949 + 0.2 = 0.689897949 m = 0.689897949 Simplifying m = 0.689897949

Subproblem 2
