\text{Hey there!}


\text{In order for you to solve for the value of m you have to flip the equation around!}


\text{Here is what I meant}\downarrow


\bf{(2)/(9)m=(2)/(3)}


\text{Then for your second step, you have to MULTIPLY by\ }(9)/(2)\text{\ on your sides}


\text{Here's what I meant}\downarrow


\bf{(9)/(2)((2)/(9))m=(9)/(2)((2)/(3))}


\text{Cancel out:}(9)/(2)((2)/(9)m)\text{\ because it equals to 1}


\text{Keep: \ }(9)/(2)((2)/(3))\text{\ because it helps us solve for the value of m}


\text{If you solved the kept one correctly, you have your answer}


\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: C. 3}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
