To solve the equation \( 8(2m + 3) = 120 \) using inverse operations, follow these steps:

1. **Divide both sides by 8** to isolate the expression inside the parentheses:
\[
2m + 3 = \frac{120}{8}
\]
\[
2m + 3 = 15
\]

2. **Subtract 3 from both sides** to isolate the term with \( m \):
\[
2m = 15 - 3
\]
\[
2m = 12
\]

3. **Divide both sides by 2** to solve for \( m \):
\[
m = \frac{12}{2}
\]
\[
m = 6
\]

Thus, the solution is \( m = 6 \).
