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

Divide each side by '5'.
-3.4 + 0.8m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3.4' to each side of the equation.
-3.4 + 0.8m + 3.4 + m2 = 0 + 3.4

Reorder the terms:
-3.4 + 3.4 + 0.8m + m2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: -3.4 + 3.4 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.8m + m2 = 0 + 3.4
0.8m + m2 = 0 + 3.4

Combine like terms: 0 + 3.4 = 3.4
0.8m + m2 = 3.4

The m term is 0.8m.  Take half its coefficient (0.4).
Square it (0.16) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.16' to each side of the equation.
0.8m + 0.16 + m2 = 3.4 + 0.16

Reorder the terms:
0.16 + 0.8m + m2 = 3.4 + 0.16

Combine like terms: 3.4 + 0.16 = 3.56
0.16 + 0.8m + m2 = 3.56

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 0.4)(m + 0.4) = 3.56
