y\left(m-1\right)=m\left(x-2m^{2}-1\right)+2m\left(m-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by m-1.
ym-y=m\left(x-2m^{2}-1\right)+2m\left(m-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by m-1.
ym-y=mx-2m^{3}-m+2m\left(m-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply m by x-2m^{2}-1.
ym-y=mx-2m^{3}-m+2m^{2}-2m
Use the distributive property to multiply 2m by m-1.
ym-y=mx-2m^{3}-3m+2m^{2}
Combine -m and -2m to get -3m.
mx-2m^{3}-3m+2m^{2}=ym-y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
mx-3m+2m^{2}=ym-y+2m^{3}
Add 2m^{3} to both sides.
mx+2m^{2}=ym-y+2m^{3}+3m
Add 3m to both sides.
mx=ym-y+2m^{3}+3m-2m^{2}
Subtract 2m^{2} from both sides.
mx=my-y+2m^{3}-2m^{2}+3m
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{mx}{m}=\frac{my-y+2m^{3}-2m^{2}+3m}{m}
Divide both sides by m.
x=\frac{my-y+2m^{3}-2m^{2}+3m}{m}
Dividing by m undoes the multiplication by m.
x=2m^{2}+y-2m-\frac{y}{m}+3
Divide ym-y+2m^{3}+3m-2m^{2} by m.
