1. Problem Description

We are given the equation 6x+m2x2+7x15=4x+522x3\frac{6x+m}{2x^2+7x-15} = \frac{4}{x+5} - \frac{2}{2x-3}, and we need to find the value of mm.

2. Solution Steps

First, factor the quadratic expression in the denominator on the left side:
2x2+7x15=(x+5)(2x3)2x^2 + 7x - 15 = (x+5)(2x-3)
So the given equation becomes:
6x+m(x+5)(2x3)=4x+522x3\frac{6x+m}{(x+5)(2x-3)} = \frac{4}{x+5} - \frac{2}{2x-3}
Now, find a common denominator for the right side:
4x+522x3=4(2x3)2(x+5)(x+5)(2x3)\frac{4}{x+5} - \frac{2}{2x-3} = \frac{4(2x-3) - 2(x+5)}{(x+5)(2x-3)}
Simplify the numerator:
4(2x3)2(x+5)=8x122x10=6x224(2x-3) - 2(x+5) = 8x - 12 - 2x - 10 = 6x - 22
So the equation becomes:
6x+m(x+5)(2x3)=6x22(x+5)(2x3)\frac{6x+m}{(x+5)(2x-3)} = \frac{6x-22}{(x+5)(2x-3)}
Since the denominators are the same, the numerators must be equal:
6x+m=6x226x + m = 6x - 22
Subtract 6x6x from both sides:
m=22m = -22

3. Final Answer

The value of mm is 22-22.
