Answer 6

you have 9m = -63 9m means 9 times m, the opposite of multiplication is division
so in this case you divide

Answer 7

oh ok. i get it.

Answer 8

if you had a problem like

9m -2 = 16 , then you have subtraction of 2, opposite of subtract is add
so in this case you add first and would be

9m -2 + 2 = 16 + 2 (you need to do same procedure on both sides)

Answer 9

and by the way the answer is -7
because when dividing a negative with a positive = negative
