Add 2 to each side.
m = 20/9 or 2 and 2/9
18m^2 - 12m + 2 = 2(9m^2 - 6m + 1) you can apply the formula (a - b)^2 = (a^2 - 2ab + b^2) or if you don't remmember it, continue to work: = 2(9m^2 - 3m - 3m + 1) = 2[(9m^2 - 3m) - (3m - 1)] = 2[3m(3m - 1) - (3m - 1)] = 2[(3m - 1)(3m - 1)] = 2(3m - 1)^2
factor it (m + 1)(9m + 2) m= -1 and -2/9
It is equivalent to 6-27m after expanding the brackets
