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

Divide each side by '8'.
-0.375 + -1.75m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.375' to each side of the equation.
-0.375 + -1.75m + 0.375 + m2 = 0 + 0.375

Reorder the terms:
-0.375 + 0.375 + -1.75m + m2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: -0.375 + 0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + -1.75m + m2 = 0 + 0.375
-1.75m + m2 = 0 + 0.375

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.375 = 0.375
-1.75m + m2 = 0.375

The m term is -1.75m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.875).
Square it (0.765625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.765625' to each side of the equation.
-1.75m + 0.765625 + m2 = 0.375 + 0.765625

Reorder the terms:
0.765625 + -1.75m + m2 = 0.375 + 0.765625

Combine like terms: 0.375 + 0.765625 = 1.140625
0.765625 + -1.75m + m2 = 1.140625
