Final answer:

To solve the inequality -3(m/4 + 3) > 4 - 3/5m, simplify and isolate the variable m. The solution is m < -260/27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality -3(m/4 + 3) > 4 - 3/5m, we need to simplify and isolate the variable m. Here are the steps:

  1. Distribute -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
    -3(m/4) - 3(3) > 4 - 3/5m
  2. Simplify:
    -3m/4 - 9 > 4 - 3/5m
  3. Add 3/5m to both sides:
    -3m/4 - 3/5m - 9 > 4
  4. Combine like terms:
    (-15m - 12m)/20 - 9 > 4
  5. Combine like terms on the left side:
    -27m/20 - 9 > 4
  6. Add 9 to both sides:
    -27m/20 > 13
  7. Multiply both sides by -20:
    -27m > 260
  8. Divide both sides by -27 (remember to flip the inequality sign because we're dividing by a negative number):
    m < -260/27

So the solution to the inequality is m < -260/27.
