The second row was multiplied by $(1+m)$. Then the corresponding elements were substracted from the elements of the third row.

second column:

$1-m^2-(1+m)(1-m)=1-m^2-(1-m^2)=0$

third column:

$(1-m)-(1+m)(m-1)=1-m-m+1-m^2+m=-m^2-m+2$

Ask yourself: with what do you need to multiply $(1-m)$ to get $1-m^2$ (which is what you want to remove)?

Hint: $1-m^2=1^2-m^2$
