See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, add #color(red)(1)# to each side of the inequality to isolate and solve for the #m# term while keeping the inequality balanced:

#color(red)(1) + 2 <= color(red)(1) - 1 + m#

#3 <= 0 + m#

#3 <= m#

To put this solution in terms of #m# we need to reverse or "flip" the inequality:

#m >= 3#
