\left(m+1\right)x^{2}-9x\left(m+1\right)=4x^{2}-11mx+3m
Variable m cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by m+1.
mx^{2}+x^{2}-9x\left(m+1\right)=4x^{2}-11mx+3m
Use the distributive property to multiply m+1 by x^{2}.
mx^{2}+x^{2}-9xm-9x=4x^{2}-11mx+3m
Use the distributive property to multiply -9x by m+1.
mx^{2}+x^{2}-9xm-9x+11mx=4x^{2}+3m
Add 11mx to both sides.
mx^{2}+x^{2}+2xm-9x=4x^{2}+3m
Combine -9xm and 11mx to get 2xm.
mx^{2}+x^{2}+2xm-9x-3m=4x^{2}
Subtract 3m from both sides.
mx^{2}+2xm-9x-3m=4x^{2}-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
mx^{2}+2xm-9x-3m=3x^{2}
Combine 4x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 3x^{2}.
mx^{2}+2xm-3m=3x^{2}+9x
Add 9x to both sides.
\left(x^{2}+2x-3\right)m=3x^{2}+9x
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x^{2}+2x-3\right)m}{x^{2}+2x-3}=\frac{3x\left(x+3\right)}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Divide both sides by x^{2}+2x-3.
m=\frac{3x\left(x+3\right)}{x^{2}+2x-3}
Dividing by x^{2}+2x-3 undoes the multiplication by x^{2}+2x-3.
m=\frac{3x}{x-1}
Divide 3x\left(3+x\right) by x^{2}+2x-3.
m=\frac{3x}{x-1}\text{, }m\neq -1
Variable m cannot be equal to -1.
