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