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