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