S= score on first exam
S+10= score on mid-term
S+26= score on final
A=Mean(Average)=45
Mean(average)=A=

Substitute A(given)
45=S+12 Subtract 12 from each side
45-12=S+12-12
33=S The score on the first exam was 33
S+10=43 The score on the midterm was 43
S+26=59 The score on the final was 59
, Juan's average for the three exams
