3\times \frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{3}m-2=0
Calculate \frac{1}{3} to the power of 2 and get \frac{1}{9}.
\frac{3}{9}+\frac{1}{3}m-2=0
Multiply 3 and \frac{1}{9} to get \frac{3}{9}.
\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}m-2=0
Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}m-\frac{6}{3}=0
Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.
\frac{1-6}{3}+\frac{1}{3}m=0
Since \frac{1}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
-\frac{5}{3}+\frac{1}{3}m=0
Subtract 6 from 1 to get -5.
\frac{1}{3}m=\frac{5}{3}
Add \frac{5}{3} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
m=\frac{5}{3}\times 3
Multiply both sides by 3, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{3}.
m=5
Cancel out 3 and 3.
