this mean that

16/5 = 2m -2m^2 so multiplie both sides by 5 and will get

16 = 10m -10m^2 multiplie both sides by minus 1

-16 = 10m^2 -10m add to both sides 16

10m^2 -10m +16 = 0

2(5m^2 -5m +8) = 0 divide both sides by 2

5m^2 -5m +8 = 0

discriminant less than zero so have not real roots

suppose on the left side there are

(2m^2 +16)/5 = 2m multiply both sides by 5

2m^2 +16 = 10m subtract from both sides 10m

2m^2 -10m +16 = 0

2(m^2 -5m +8) = 0 divide both sides by 2

m^2 -5m +8 = 0

discriminant = 25 -32 = - 7 so minus 7 < 0 have not real roots

hope helped
