3. Find the value of $r$ for the term independent of $x$
For the term independent of x, the power of x must be 0: 24−3r=0 3r=24 r=8
4. Equate the coefficient to the given value and solve for $m$
Substitute r=8 into the coefficient part: (812)(−2m)8=126720 495×256m8=126720 256m8=495126720 256m8=256 m8=256×256=65536
Since m is a positive constant: m=865536=4
