m^{2}m^{2}+1=m^{2}\times 79+msm^{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by m^{2}.
m^{4}+1=m^{2}\times 79+msm^{2}
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 2 and 2 to get 4.
m^{4}+1=m^{2}\times 79+m^{3}s
To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 1 and 2 to get 3.
m^{2}\times 79+m^{3}s=m^{4}+1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
m^{3}s=m^{4}+1-m^{2}\times 79
Subtract m^{2}\times 79 from both sides.
m^{3}s=m^{4}+1-79m^{2}
Multiply -1 and 79 to get -79.
m^{3}s=m^{4}-79m^{2}+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{m^{3}s}{m^{3}}=\frac{m^{4}-79m^{2}+1}{m^{3}}
Divide both sides by m^{3}.
s=\frac{m^{4}-79m^{2}+1}{m^{3}}
Dividing by m^{3} undoes the multiplication by m^{3}.
s=m-\frac{79}{m}+\frac{1}{m^{3}}
Divide -79m^{2}+m^{4}+1 by m^{3}.
