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