1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the equation 2m5(m1)(x+2)3x+1=3x+4x2+3x+2\frac{2m-5}{(m-1)(x+2)} - \frac{3}{x+1} = \frac{3x+4}{x^2+3x+2} for mm.

2. Solution Steps

First, we factor the denominator on the right-hand side:
x2+3x+2=(x+1)(x+2)x^2+3x+2 = (x+1)(x+2).
So the equation becomes:
2m5(m1)(x+2)3x+1=3x+4(x+1)(x+2)\frac{2m-5}{(m-1)(x+2)} - \frac{3}{x+1} = \frac{3x+4}{(x+1)(x+2)}.
We multiply both sides of the equation by (m1)(x+1)(x+2)(m-1)(x+1)(x+2) to eliminate the denominators.
(x+1)(2m5)3(m1)(x+2)=(m1)(3x+4)(x+1)(2m-5) - 3(m-1)(x+2) = (m-1)(3x+4)
(2m5)(x+1)3(m1)(x+2)=(m1)(3x+4)(2m-5)(x+1) - 3(m-1)(x+2) = (m-1)(3x+4)
2mx+2m5x53(mx+2mx2)=3mx+4m3x42mx+2m-5x-5 - 3(mx+2m-x-2) = 3mx+4m-3x-4
2mx+2m5x53mx6m+3x+6=3mx+4m3x42mx+2m-5x-5 - 3mx-6m+3x+6 = 3mx+4m-3x-4
mx4m2x+1=3mx+4m3x4-mx-4m-2x+1 = 3mx+4m-3x-4
mx3mx4m4m=3x+2x41-mx-3mx-4m-4m = -3x+2x-4-1
4mx8m=x5-4mx-8m = -x-5
m(4x8)=x5m(-4x-8) = -x-5
m=x54x8=x+54x+8=x+54(x+2)m = \frac{-x-5}{-4x-8} = \frac{x+5}{4x+8} = \frac{x+5}{4(x+2)}

3. Final Answer

m=x+54(x+2)m = \frac{x+5}{4(x+2)}
