2\times 2x+\left(m-2\right)m=x\times 2\left(m-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(m-2\right), the least common multiple of m-2,2.
4x+\left(m-2\right)m=x\times 2\left(m-2\right)
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
4x+m^{2}-2m=x\times 2\left(m-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply m-2 by m.
4x+m^{2}-2m=2xm-2x\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply x\times 2 by m-2.
4x+m^{2}-2m=2xm-4x
Multiply -2 and 2 to get -4.
4x+m^{2}-2m-2xm=-4x
Subtract 2xm from both sides.
4x+m^{2}-2m-2xm+4x=0
Add 4x to both sides.
8x+m^{2}-2m-2xm=0
Combine 4x and 4x to get 8x.
8x-2m-2xm=-m^{2}
Subtract m^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
8x-2xm=-m^{2}+2m
Add 2m to both sides.
\left(8-2m\right)x=-m^{2}+2m
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(8-2m\right)x=2m-m^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(8-2m\right)x}{8-2m}=\frac{m\left(2-m\right)}{8-2m}
Divide both sides by 8-2m.
x=\frac{m\left(2-m\right)}{8-2m}
Dividing by 8-2m undoes the multiplication by 8-2m.
x=\frac{m\left(2-m\right)}{2\left(4-m\right)}
Divide m\left(2-m\right) by 8-2m.
