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
