Answer: 18 = m
Step-by-step explanation: Since <em>m</em> is being divided by 9, to get <em>m</em> by itself,
we multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
.
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 <em>m </em>in the original equation
and we have
, which is a true statement, so our answer checks.
