Solution for m^2-3=m equation:


Simplifying
m2 + -3 = m

Reorder the terms:
-3 + m2 = m

Solving
-3 + m2 = m

Solving for variable 'm'.

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

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

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + -1m + 3 + m2 = 0 + 3

Reorder the terms:
-3 + 3 + -1m + m2 = 0 + 3

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

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

The m term is -1m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
-1m + 0.25 + m2 = 3 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1m + m2 = 3 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25
0.25 + -1m + m2 = 3.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.5)(m + -0.5) = 3.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.802775638

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m + -0.5) equal to 1.802775638 and -1.802775638.

Subproblem 1

m + -0.5 = 1.802775638 Simplifying m + -0.5 = 1.802775638 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + m = 1.802775638 Solving -0.5 + m = 1.802775638 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + m = 1.802775638 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m = 1.802775638 + 0.5 m = 1.802775638 + 0.5 Combine like terms: 1.802775638 + 0.5 = 2.302775638 m = 2.302775638 Simplifying m = 2.302775638

Subproblem 2

m + -0.5 = -1.802775638 Simplifying m + -0.5 = -1.802775638 Reorder the terms: -0.5 + m = -1.802775638 Solving -0.5 + m = -1.802775638 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.5' to each side of the equation. -0.5 + 0.5 + m = -1.802775638 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m = -1.802775638 + 0.5 m = -1.802775638 + 0.5 Combine like terms: -1.802775638 + 0.5 = -1.302775638 m = -1.302775638 Simplifying m = -1.302775638
