\left(-2m+2\right)^{2}-4\left(m-2\right)\left(m+1\right)>0
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by m-1.
4m^{2}-8m+4-4\left(m-2\right)\left(m+1\right)>0
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(-2m+2\right)^{2}.
4m^{2}-8m+4+\left(-4m+8\right)\left(m+1\right)>0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4 by m-2.
4m^{2}-8m+4-4m^{2}+4m+8>0
Use the distributive property to multiply -4m+8 by m+1 and combine like terms.
-8m+4+4m+8>0
Combine 4m^{2} and -4m^{2} to get 0.
-4m+4+8>0
Combine -8m and 4m to get -4m.
-4m+12>0
Add 4 and 8 to get 12.
-4m>-12
Subtract 12 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
m<\frac{-12}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
m<3
Divide -12 by -4 to get 3.
