Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + 5m + -3 + m2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + 5m + m2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + 5m + m2 = 0 + -3
5m + m2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
5m + m2 = -3

The m term is 5m.  Take half its coefficient (2.5).
Square it (6.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '6.25' to each side of the equation.
5m + 6.25 + m2 = -3 + 6.25
