Answer: 18 = m
Step-by-step explanation: Since m is being divided by 9, to get m by itself,
we multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
[tex]So[/tex] [tex]we[/tex] [tex]have[/tex] [tex](9)(2) = (\frac{m}{9})(9)[/tex].
On the right, the 9's cancel and on the left, (9)(2) is 18.
So 18 = m.
To check our answer, we plug 18 back in for m in the original equation
and we have [tex]2 = \frac{(18)}{9}[/tex], which is a true statement, so our answer checks.
