x^{2}+2mx-4x+m-9=0
Use the distributive property to multiply 2m-4 by x.
2mx-4x+m-9=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2mx+m-9=-x^{2}+4x
Add 4x to both sides.
2mx+m=-x^{2}+4x+9
Add 9 to both sides.
\left(2x+1\right)m=-x^{2}+4x+9
Combine all terms containing m.
\left(2x+1\right)m=9+4x-x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x+1\right)m}{2x+1}=\frac{9+4x-x^{2}}{2x+1}
Divide both sides by 2x+1.
m=\frac{9+4x-x^{2}}{2x+1}
Dividing by 2x+1 undoes the multiplication by 2x+1.
