The given inequality is expressed as

6m - 2(7 + 3m) > 5(2m - 3) - m​

We would expand the brackets by multiplying the terms inside the bracket by the term outside it. It becomes

6m - 14 - 6m > 10m - 15 - m

Collecting like terms, it becomes

6m - 6m - 10m + m > - 15 + 14

- 9m > - 1

If we divide both sides of the inequality by - 9, the inequality symbol will be reversed because - 9 is negative. Thus, it becomes

m < - 1/- 9

m < 1/9
