Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + 5m + -1 + m2 = 0 + -1

Reorder the terms:
1 + -1 + 5m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 5m + m2 = 0 + -1
5m + m2 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
5m + m2 = -1

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 = -1 + 6.25

Reorder the terms:
6.25 + 5m + m2 = -1 + 6.25
