Answer 2/5. It says there are 5 people and 3 of them have done their hw and 2 have not cause 5-3=2.
In the given question there is an equation that has to be solved and the value of the unknown variable "M" has to be determined. It is absolutely possible to find the exact value of the variable "M" as there is 1 equation and 1 variable.
302 + 12 M = 278
12 M = 278 - 302
12 M = - 24
M = - (24/12)
= - 2
So the value of the unknown variable "M" comes out to be -2. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand and also this is the answer you were looking forward to.
