Answer:

m= 15

Explanation:


(m)/(9) + (2)/(3) = (7)/(3)

To solve for m, start by moving the constants (numbers that are not attached to any variable) to the other side of the equation.


(m)/(9) = (7)/(3) - (2)/(3)

Simplify:


(m)/(9) = (5)/(3)

Multiply both sides by 9:


m = (5)/(3) * 9

Crossing out 3 from the denominator and from 9:

m= 5(3)

m= 15
