mx^{2}-12x^{2}+2\left(m-12\right)x+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply m-12 by x^{2}.
mx^{2}-12x^{2}+\left(2m-24\right)x+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by m-12.
mx^{2}-12x^{2}+2mx-24x+2=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2m-24 by x.
mx^{2}+2mx-24x+2=12x^{2}
Add 12x^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
mx^{2}+2mx+2=12x^{2}+24x
Add 24x to both sides.
mx^{2}+2mx=12x^{2}+24x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(x^{2}+2x\right)m=12x^{2}+24x-2
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2x\right)m}{x^{2}+2x}=\frac{12x^{2}+24x-2}{x^{2}+2x}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+2x.
m=\frac{12x^{2}+24x-2}{x^{2}+2x}
Dividing by x^{2}+2x undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+2x.
m=\frac{2\left(6x^{2}+12x-1\right)}{x\left(x+2\right)}
Divide 12x^{2}+24x-2 by x^{2}+2x.
