Solution for m^2-2m+2=-1 equation:

Simplifying
m2 + -2m + 2 = -1

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

Solving
2 + -2m + m2 = -1

Solving for variable 'm'.

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

Combine like terms: 2 + 1 = 3
3 + -2m + m2 = -1 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0
3 + -2m + m2 = 0

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -2m + -3 + m2 = 0 + -3

Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + -2m + m2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -2m + m2 = 0 + -3
-2m + m2 = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-2m + m2 = -3

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 = -3 + 1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -2m + m2 = -3 + 1

Combine like terms: -3 + 1 = -2
1 + -2m + m2 = -2

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -1)(m + -1) = -2

Can't calculate square root of the right side.
