$m < \frac{26}{5}$ $m < 26/5$

$m < 5 \frac{1}{5}$ $m < 5 1/5$

$m < 5.2$ $m <5.2$

Explanation:

You can get rid of the fractions straight away.

Multiply each term of the inequality by the $L C D$ $LCD$ , which is $6$ $6$ .

This will allow you to cancel the denominators and thereby get rid of the fractions altogether.

$\frac{6 \times m}{3} - 6 \times 3 < \frac{6 \times 4}{3} - \frac{6 \times m}{2}$ $(color(blue)(6xx)m)/3-color(blue)(6xx3) < (color(blue)(6xx)4)/3 - (color(blue)(6xxm))/2$

$(color(blue)(cancel6^2xx)m)/cancel3-color(blue)(6xx3) < (color(blue)(cancel6^2xx)4)/cancel3 - (color(blue)(cancel6^3xxm))/cancel2$

$rarr 2m-18 < 8-3m" "larr$ rearrange the terms

$2m+3m <8+18$

$5m < 26$

$m < 26/5$

This is the same as $m < 5 1/5 " or " m <5.2$
