1/5 - 4/3m = 2/m ----(1)
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying through out by 15m
\n" ); document.write( "(3m-20)=30 (how and why 15m?,because the lcm of 5,3m and m is 15m )
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 30+20
\n" ); document.write( "3m =50
\n" ); document.write( "m = 50/3
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: m= 50/3
\n" ); document.write( "Verification: LHS of (1) is
\n" ); document.write( "1/5 - 4/3m
\n" ); document.write( "= 1/5-[4/(3X50/3)]
\n" ); document.write( "=1/5-4/50
\n" ); document.write( "=1/5-2/25
\n" ); document.write( "=(5-2)/25 (combining the two fractions by finding the lcm)
\n" ); document.write( "=3/25
\n" ); document.write( "RHS of (1) is
\n" ); document.write( "2/m = 2/[(50/3)] = 2X(3/50) = (2X3(/(2X25) = 3/25 = LHS
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore our value for m is correcat \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
