Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
20 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '20'.
-0.6 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.6' to each side of the equation.
-0.6 + -0.25m + 0.6 + m2 = 0.0 + 0.6

Reorder the terms:
-0.6 + 0.6 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: -0.6 + 0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -0.25m + m2 = 0.0 + 0.6
-0.25m + m2 = 0.0 + 0.6

Combine like terms: 0.0 + 0.6 = 0.6
-0.25m + m2 = 0.6

The m term is -0.25m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.125).
Square it (0.015625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.015625' to each side of the equation.
-0.25m + 0.015625 + m2 = 0.6 + 0.015625
