an equation is given as 9m - 2 = 16

Find:

we have to find the first step in solving the given equation

Step-by-step explanation:

given equation is 9m - 2 = 16

The first step in solving the given equation is to "add 2 to each side"

First step: add 2 to each side

9m - 2 + 2 = 16 + 2

9m = 18

Second Step: Divide each side by 9

m = 2

Therefore, first step is ""add 2 to each side"
