Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '24' to each side of the equation.
-24 + -1m + 24 + m2 = 0 + 24

Reorder the terms:
-24 + 24 + -1m + m2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0
0 + -1m + m2 = 0 + 24
-1m + m2 = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: 0 + 24 = 24
-1m + m2 = 24

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 = 24 + 0.25

Reorder the terms:
0.25 + -1m + m2 = 24 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 24 + 0.25 = 24.25
0.25 + -1m + m2 = 24.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.5)(m + -0.5) = 24.25
