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