$m = 24$ $m = 24$

Isolate the term with the variable.

$\frac{3}{8} m + 9 = 18$ $3/8m + 9 = 18$
$\frac{3}{8} m = 18 - 9$ $3/8m = 18-9$

$\frac{3}{8} m = 9 now \times \frac{8}{3} on both sides$ $3/8m = 9" now" color(magenta)(xx 8/3)" on both sides"$

$\frac{8}{3} \times \frac{3}{8} m = 9 \times \frac{8}{3}$ $color(magenta)(8/3xx) 3/8m = 9color(magenta)(xx 8/3)$

$m = 24$ $m = 24$
