Solving
9 + -1m = 0

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1m = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0
0 + -1m = 0 + -9
-1m = 0 + -9

Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9
-1m = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
m = 9

Simplifying
m = 9
Solution
m = {-6, 9}
