    First, off, divide both sides by 4 to make things easier

    2m^2+5m=3

    minus 3 both sides

    2m^2+5m-3=0

    factor

    hmm

    experiment

    (2m-3) (m+1), nope

    (2m+3) (m-1), nope

    (2m-1) (m+3), yep

    (2m-1) (m+3) = 0

    set each to zero

    2m-1=0

    2m=1

    m=1/2

    m+3=0

    m=-3

    m=1/2 or - 3
