Answer:

3, 4 and 5

Explanation:

The total number of marbles Janae, Jerome and Gwen have is m + m + 4(m + 2).

m + m + 4(m + 2)

= 2m + 4m + 8

= 6m + 8

The problem says that the total number of marbles Janae, Jerome and Gwen have is less than the number of marbles John has, so that means 6m + 8 is less than 8m + 4

6m + 8 < 8m + 4.

(6m + 8) - 4 < (8m + 4) - 4

6m + 4 < 8m

4 < 8m - 6m

4 < 2m

1 and 2 aren't valid so the answer is 3, 4 and 5.
