mx^{2}+x^{2}+3x+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply m+1 by x^{2}.
mx^{2}+3x+3=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
mx^{2}+3=-x^{2}-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
mx^{2}=-x^{2}-3x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^{2}m=-x^{2}-3x-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{x^{2}m}{x^{2}}=\frac{-x^{2}-3x-3}{x^{2}}
Divide both sides by x^{2}.
m=\frac{-x^{2}-3x-3}{x^{2}}
Dividing by x^{2} undoes the multiplication by x^{2}.
m=-1-\frac{3x+3}{x^{2}}
Divide -x^{2}-3x-3 by x^{2}.
