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

Divide each side by '5'.
-1.6 + -1.4m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '1.6' to each side of the equation.
-1.6 + -1.4m + 1.6 + m2 = 0 + 1.6

Reorder the terms:
-1.6 + 1.6 + -1.4m + m2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: -1.6 + 1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.4m + m2 = 0 + 1.6
-1.4m + m2 = 0 + 1.6

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.6 = 1.6
-1.4m + m2 = 1.6

The m term is -1.4m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.7).
Square it (0.49) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.49' to each side of the equation.
-1.4m + 0.49 + m2 = 1.6 + 0.49

Reorder the terms:
0.49 + -1.4m + m2 = 1.6 + 0.49

Combine like terms: 1.6 + 0.49 = 2.09
0.49 + -1.4m + m2 = 2.09

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.7)(m + -0.7) = 2.09
