Sam must have an average of 70 or more in his summer course to
obtain a grade of C. His first three test grades were 75, 63, and 68. Write an inequality
representing the score that Sam must get on the last test to get a C grade.
---------------------
Let the score he needs to achieve the 70 average be "x".
EQUATION:
(x+75+63+68)/4>=70
