Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-35' to each side of the equation.
35 + 2m + -35 + m2 = 0 + -35

Reorder the terms:
35 + -35 + 2m + m2 = 0 + -35

Combine like terms: 35 + -35 = 0
0 + 2m + m2 = 0 + -35
2m + m2 = 0 + -35

Combine like terms: 0 + -35 = -35
2m + m2 = -35

The m term is 2m.  Take half its coefficient (1).
Square it (1) and add it to both sides.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.
2m + 1 + m2 = -35 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + 2m + m2 = -35 + 1

Combine like terms: -35 + 1 = -34
1 + 2m + m2 = -34

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + 1)(m + 1) = -34

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
