The memory locations A,B,C,D,X,Y and M are available to store values in them. M is the constant memory.
To type the name of, say, variable X, you press the ALPHA key then the the key next to which is the X in cyan/Green color. If I remember correctly it is the key marked with a parenthesis ).
However to store a value in a memory location or to recall a stored value you use the STO key to store and the RCL key to recall. To store or recall there is no need to press the ALPHA key.
The virtue of algebra is that one manipulates symbols that have no specific meaning. Whether a variable is called x, y or m is irrelevant.
The danger in using m is that there is a key labeled M+ which one can use to increment the content of the M memory. It is safer to use a variable that is not accessed so directly.
To make your life easier when you are doing algebra is to tidy up the expressions: make expressions as simple as possible. For your case you could (if you accept the suggestion) write it as
9m-88m^2
To type it:
9[*][ALPHA] [M] -88*[ALPHA][M][^2] [ALPHA][=]
OOPS
9[*][ALPHA] [M] -88*[ALPHA][M][^2] [=]
