We have to solve the equation.

03

Step 3. Calculation  

The denominators can never be 0. So, m≠-5,5.

Multiply both sides by the LCD and then solve the equation.

mm+5=50m2-25+6mm+5=50m+5m-5+6mm+5m+5m-5=50m+5m-5m+5m-5+6m+5m-5m(m-5)=50+6(m2-25)m2-5m=50+6m2-1505m2+5m-100=05(m2+m-20)=05(m+5)(m-4)=0m=-5,4

But m≠-5, so m=4.
