Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + 8m + -20 + m2 = 0 + -20

Reorder the terms:
20 + -20 + 8m + m2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + 8m + m2 = 0 + -20
8m + m2 = 0 + -20

Combine like terms: 0 + -20 = -20
8m + m2 = -20

The m term is 8m.  Take half its coefficient (4).
Square it (16) and add it to both sides.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
8m + 16 + m2 = -20 + 16
