Answer: The given value is right

Explanation:

To know if the given value is the solution, we have to find the right solution first.

9m - 19 = 3m + 1

9m - 3m = 19 + 1

6m = 20

m = 20 ÷ 6

m = 3.33333333 (repeating)

3.3 (repeating) is the same as the fraction 10/3, therefore the given value is correct
