Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + 9m + -12 + m2 = 0 + -12

Reorder the terms:
12 + -12 + 9m + m2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 9m + m2 = 0 + -12
9m + m2 = 0 + -12

Combine like terms: 0 + -12 = -12
9m + m2 = -12

The m term is 9m.  Take half its coefficient (4.5).
Square it (20.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '20.25' to each side of the equation.
9m + 20.25 + m2 = -12 + 20.25

Reorder the terms:
20.25 + 9m + m2 = -12 + 20.25

Combine like terms: -12 + 20.25 = 8.25
20.25 + 9m + m2 = 8.25
