I hope this isn't a real life example!
Let the final equal: x
The grade is found by 2/3*midterm+1/3*final.
She got a 48 on the midterm.
She wants a score between 70 and 79.

Ask yourself if this seems reasonable. 2/3's of her grade was a 48. It does seam unlikely that she can bring her grade up at least 22 points with only 1/3 of a grade left.
Wendy is going to need a lot of bonus points!
