You would work this almost just as if you had the fourth test grade.
The test grades were 80, 75, 86, & x
They have to be atleast an 82.
.

To get rid of the fraction multiply each side by 4. The fours on the left side would cancel out

.
Add up the test grades
241 + x = 328
.
then subtract 241 from each side
x = 87
So she would have to make atleast a 87 on the next to to have an average of atleast 82.
