3/(4m)-1/(8m)=5

\frac{3}{4 m} - \frac{1}{8 m} = 5

m = \frac{1}{8}

Decimal Notation

m = 0.125

Solution steps

\frac{3}{4 m} - \frac{1}{8 m} = 5

Multiply by LCM

5 = 40 m

Switch sides

40 m = 5

Divide both sides by

40

m = \frac{1}{8}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

m = 0

Combine undefined points with solutions:

m = \frac{1}{8}

\frac{1}{x + 2} = \frac{3}{8}

2 x - \frac{128000}{x ^{2}} = 0

\frac{32}{x} = 8

Q, M = \frac{Q + 1}{Q}

- \frac{1}{3} = \frac{8}{x} - 1
