mx^{2}-x^{2}+2mx+m+3=0
Use the distributive property to multiply m-1 by x^{2}.
mx^{2}+2mx+m+3=x^{2}
Add x^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
mx^{2}+2mx+m=x^{2}-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right)m=x^{2}-3
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2x+1\right)m}{x^{2}+2x+1}=\frac{x^{2}-3}{x^{2}+2x+1}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+2x+1.
m=\frac{x^{2}-3}{x^{2}+2x+1}
Dividing by x^{2}+2x+1 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+2x+1.
m=\frac{x^{2}-3}{\left(x+1\right)^{2}}
Divide x^{2}-3 by x^{2}+2x+1.
