16+8m+m^{2}-4x\left(5m-5\right)=0
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4+m\right)^{2}.
16+8m+m^{2}-20mx+20x=0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4x by 5m-5.
8m+m^{2}-20mx+20x=-16
Subtract 16 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
m^{2}-20mx+20x=-16-8m
Subtract 8m from both sides.
-20mx+20x=-16-8m-m^{2}
Subtract m^{2} from both sides.
\left(-20m+20\right)x=-16-8m-m^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(20-20m\right)x=-m^{2}-8m-16
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(20-20m\right)x}{20-20m}=-\frac{\left(m+4\right)^{2}}{20-20m}
Divide both sides by 20-20m.
x=-\frac{\left(m+4\right)^{2}}{20-20m}
Dividing by 20-20m undoes the multiplication by 20-20m.
x=-\frac{\left(m+4\right)^{2}}{20\left(1-m\right)}
Divide -\left(m+4\right)^{2} by 20-20m.
