You can multiply each fraction on both top and bottom so that they have 24 as the denominator. The equation becomes
(20)/(24) m- (10)/(24) = (21)/(24) m+ (16)/(24)
subtract 16/24 to both sides and you get

(20)/(24) m- (26)/(24) = (21)/(24) m
now subtract 20/24 from both sides and

(-26)/(24) = (21)/(24) m
multiply 24 on both sides
-26=21m
and divide by 21 on both sides
m=-26/21 or -1.24
