-2-4m-m<7m-2
:
-2-5m<7m-2....combined m terms on left
:
-5m<7m........added to to both sides
:
-12m<0........subtracted 7m from both sides
:
m>0....divided by -12 to isolate variable m.....this changes the inequality direction

-2-4m-m<7m-2
-2-5m<7m-2 add 5m to both sides
-2-5m+5m<7m+5m-2
-2<12m-2 add2 to both sides
-2+2<12m-2+2
0<12m divide by 12
m >0
