lve the equation and show the check of your solution(s). If an answer is an excluded value, please state than on your paper. Find LCD first and clearing fractions from the equation first. Please show work.
(m-4/m^2)+(m^2+10m+24/4m^2)=2/m^2
%28m+-+4%29%2Fm%5E2+%2B+%28m%5E2+%2B+10m+%2B+24%29%2F4m%5E2+=+2%2Fm%5E2, with m+%3C%3E+0
4%28m+-+4%29+%2B+m%5E2+%2B+10m+%2B+24+=+4%282%29 -------- Multiplying by LCD, 4m%5E2
4m+-+16+%2B+m%5E2+%2B+10m+%2B+24+=+8
m%5E2+%2B+4m+%2B+10m+-+16+%2B+24+-+8+=+0
m%5E2+%2B+14m+=+0
m(m + 14) = 0
m + 14 = 0 OR m = 0 (ignore as itw's stated above that m+%3C%3E+0)
