x\times 2x-\left(m+1\right)=\left(x+1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+1\right), the least common multiple of x+1,x^{2}+x,x.
x\times 2x-\left(m+1\right)=\left(x+1\right)^{2}
Multiply x+1 and x+1 to get \left(x+1\right)^{2}.
x^{2}\times 2-\left(m+1\right)=\left(x+1\right)^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
x^{2}\times 2-m-1=\left(x+1\right)^{2}
To find the opposite of m+1, find the opposite of each term.
x^{2}\times 2-m-1=x^{2}+2x+1
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+1\right)^{2}.
-m-1=x^{2}+2x+1-x^{2}\times 2
Subtract x^{2}\times 2 from both sides.
-m-1=-x^{2}+2x+1
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2}\times 2 to get -x^{2}.
-m=-x^{2}+2x+1+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-m=-x^{2}+2x+2
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
-m=2+2x-x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-m}{-1}=\frac{2+2x-x^{2}}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
m=\frac{2+2x-x^{2}}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
m=x^{2}-2x-2
Divide -x^{2}+2x+2 by -1.
