1%2F%283-m%29+%2B+7%2F%282m%2B3%29+=+0,
%282m%2B3%2B7%283-m%29%29%2F%28%283-m%29%282m%2B3%29%29+=+0,
%282m%2B3%2B21-7m%29%2F%28%283-m%29%282m%2B3%29%29+=+0,
%2824-5m%29%2F%28%283-m%29%282m%2B3%29%29+=+0,
This implies that 24 - 5m = 0, or m = 24/5, which, since it won't make the denominator zero, is the final answer.
