Yes you are correct!
you first have to get rid of the number next to the variable m. so you have to subtract 9 to get rid of the variable. then you subtract 9 from both sides and get that answer.
First you plug everything in to get
2a=-5 (1)^2+9 you do the powers and multiply
2a=-5 (1)+9
2a=-5+9
2a=4
a=2
