Fill in the Blank

A process engineer is auditing a system model represented by the rational equation m+11m25m+4=5m43m1\frac{m+11}{m^2-5m+4} = \frac{5}{m-4} - \frac{3}{m-1}. After completing the five-step strategy, the engineer finds that the only potential algebraic solution is m=4m = 4. However, because m=4m = 4 is a restricted value that makes the original denominators equal to zero, it is technically classified as a(n) ____ solution.
