1m + -2m2 = -1(15 + 2m)
1m + -2m2 = (15 * -1 + 2m * -1)
1m + -2m2 = (-15 + -2m)

Solving
1m + -2m2 = -15 + -2m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Reorder the terms:
15 + 1m + 2m + -2m2 = -15 + -2m + 15 + 2m

Combine like terms: 1m + 2m = 3m
15 + 3m + -2m2 = -15 + -2m + 15 + 2m

Reorder the terms:
15 + 3m + -2m2 = -15 + 15 + -2m + 2m

Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
15 + 3m + -2m2 = 0 + -2m + 2m
15 + 3m + -2m2 = -2m + 2m

15 + 3m + -2m2 = 0

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
-2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '-2'.
-7.5 + -1.5m + m2 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '7.5' to each side of the equation.
-7.5 + -1.5m + 7.5 + m2 = 0 + 7.5

Reorder the terms:
-7.5 + 7.5 + -1.5m + m2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.5m + m2 = 0 + 7.5
-1.5m + m2 = 0 + 7.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 7.5 = 7.5
-1.5m + m2 = 7.5

The m term is -1.5m.  Take half its coefficient (-0.75).
Square it (0.5625) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.5625' to each side of the equation.
-1.5m + 0.5625 + m2 = 7.5 + 0.5625

Reorder the terms:
0.5625 + -1.5m + m2 = 7.5 + 0.5625

Combine like terms: 7.5 + 0.5625 = 8.0625
0.5625 + -1.5m + m2 = 8.0625

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m + -0.75)(m + -0.75) = 8.0625

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.839454173
