Combine 7.6m^{2} and -2.34m^{2} to get 5.26m^{2}.
5.26m^{2}-13m=0
Subtract 13m from both sides.
m=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{\left(-13\right)^{2}}}{2\times 5.26}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 5.26 for a, -13 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
m=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±13}{2\times 5.26}
Take the square root of \left(-13\right)^{2}.
m=\frac{13±13}{2\times 5.26}
The opposite of -13 is 13.
m=\frac{13±13}{10.52}
Multiply 2 times 5.26.
m=\frac{26}{10.52}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{13±13}{10.52} when ± is plus. Add 13 to 13.
m=\frac{650}{263}
Divide 26 by 10.52 by multiplying 26 by the reciprocal of 10.52.
m=\frac{0}{10.52}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{13±13}{10.52} when ± is minus. Subtract 13 from 13.
m=0
Divide 0 by 10.52 by multiplying 0 by the reciprocal of 10.52.
m=\frac{650}{263} m=0
The equation is now solved.
7.6m^{2}=\left(1.8m+10\right)\times 1.3m
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
7.6m^{2}=\left(2.34m+13\right)m
Use the distributive property to multiply 1.8m+10 by 1.3.
7.6m^{2}=2.34m^{2}+13m

7.6m^{2}-2.34m^{2}=13m
Subtract 2.34m^{2} from both sides.
5.26m^{2}=13m
Combine 7.6m^{2} and -2.34m^{2} to get 5.26m^{2}.
5.26m^{2}-13m=0
Subtract 13m from both sides.
\frac{5.26m^{2}-13m}{5.26}=\frac{0}{5.26}
Divide both sides of the equation by 5.26, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
m^{2}+\left(-\frac{13}{5.26}\right)m=\frac{0}{5.26}
Dividing by 5.26 undoes the multiplication by 5.26.
m^{2}-\frac{650}{263}m=\frac{0}{5.26}
Divide -13 by 5.26 by multiplying -13 by the reciprocal of 5.26.
m^{2}-\frac{650}{263}m=0
Divide 0 by 5.26 by multiplying 0 by the reciprocal of 5.26.
m^{2}-\frac{650}{263}m+\left(-\frac{325}{263}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{325}{263}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{650}{263}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{325}{263}. Then add the square of -\frac{325}{263} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
m^{2}-\frac{650}{263}m+\frac{105625}{69169}=\frac{105625}{69169}
Square -\frac{325}{263} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(m-\frac{325}{263}\right)^{2}=\frac{105625}{69169}
Factor m^{2}-\frac{650}{263}m+\frac{105625}{69169}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(m-\frac{325}{263}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{105625}{69169}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
m-\frac{325}{263}=\frac{325}{263} m-\frac{325}{263}=-\frac{325}{263}
Simplify.
m=\frac{650}{263} m=0
Add \frac{325}{263} to both sides of the equation.
