32 - 18m^2 = 0
2(16 - 9m^2) = 0
2(4^2 - (3m)^2) = 0
2(4 + 3m)(4 - 3m) = 0
m = -4/3 or m = 4/3

Isolate your variable m by adding 18m squared to both sides. Now you have 32 on the left and 18m squared on the right. Isolate m by dividing both sides by 18, then taking the square root of the result. 1.333 is your answer. Plug it in to your original equation to confirm it is correct.

Extract 2 and you have a good ol' difference of squares
2(4 - 3m)(4 + 3m) =0
4 - 3m = 0 and/or 4 + 3m = 0
m = 4/3, -4/3
