subtracting 8m __ m^2-8m=3

adding half of the coefficient of the 1st order term, squared __ m^2-8m+(-8/2)^2=3+(-8/2)^2

m^2-8m+16=3+16 __ taking square root __ m-4=�sqrt(19)

adding 4 __ m=4�sqrt(19)
Answer by mathbird(71) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m^2 = 8m + 3
m^2-8m-3=0
(m)^2-2(m)(4)+(4)^2-(4)^2-3=0
(m-4)^2-16-3=0
(m-4)^2-19=0
(m-4)^2=19
�√(m-4)^2=�√19
m-4=�4.36
m=�4.36+4
m=8.36&-0.36
