nm+\left(n+1\right)\left(m+1\right)=\left(n+1\right)m
Multiply both sides of the equation by n\left(n+1\right), the least common multiple of n+1,n.
nm+nm+n+m+1=\left(n+1\right)m
Use the distributive property to multiply n+1 by m+1.
2nm+n+m+1=\left(n+1\right)m
Combine nm and nm to get 2nm.
2nm+n+m+1=nm+m
Use the distributive property to multiply n+1 by m.
2nm+n+m+1-nm=m
Subtract nm from both sides.
nm+n+m+1=m
Combine 2nm and -nm to get nm.
nm+n+m+1-m=0
Subtract m from both sides.
nm+n+1=0
Combine m and -m to get 0.
nm+1=-n
Subtract n from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
nm=-n-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{nm}{n}=\frac{-n-1}{n}
Divide both sides by n.
m=\frac{-n-1}{n}
Dividing by n undoes the multiplication by n.
m=-1-\frac{1}{n}
Divide -n-1 by n.
nm+\left(n+1\right)\left(m+1\right)=\left(n+1\right)m
Variable n cannot be equal to any of the values -1,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n\left(n+1\right), the least common multiple of n+1,n.
nm+nm+n+m+1=\left(n+1\right)m
Use the distributive property to multiply n+1 by m+1.
2nm+n+m+1=\left(n+1\right)m
Combine nm and nm to get 2nm.
2nm+n+m+1=nm+m
Use the distributive property to multiply n+1 by m.
2nm+n+m+1-nm=m
Subtract nm from both sides.
nm+n+m+1=m
Combine 2nm and -nm to get nm.
nm+n+1=m-m
Subtract m from both sides.
nm+n+1=0
Combine m and -m to get 0.
nm+n=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(m+1\right)n=-1
Combine all terms containing n.
\frac{\left(m+1\right)n}{m+1}=-\frac{1}{m+1}
Divide both sides by m+1.
n=-\frac{1}{m+1}
Dividing by m+1 undoes the multiplication by m+1.
n=-\frac{1}{m+1}\text{, }n\neq -1\text{ and }n\neq 0
Variable n cannot be equal to any of the values -1,0.
