Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '4' to each side of the equation.
-4 + -5m + 4 + m2 = 0 + 4

Reorder the terms:
-4 + 4 + -5m + m2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0
0 + -5m + m2 = 0 + 4
-5m + m2 = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4
-5m + m2 = 4

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 = 4 + 6.25
