Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the equation after first step

After subtracting 9 from both sides, we have \(\frac{m}{2}=3\). To isolate \(m\), we need to get rid of the denominator 2. The inverse operation of division (since \(\frac{m}{2}\) is \(m\) divided by 2) is multiplication. So we should multiply both sides by 2.

Step2: Perform the operation to isolate m

Multiply both sides of the equation \(\frac{m}{2} = 3\) by 2.
\[
\frac{m}{2}\times2=3\times2
\]
Simplifying both sides, we get \(m = 6\). But for the blanks, the operation is "Multiply" and the number is "2".

Answer:

First blank: Multiply, Second blank: 2
