Hi,
scores of 68, 65, 75, and 78 on his algebra tests 0r 286 Pts per date
Let x represent the final exam score
70 ≤ avg ≤79 represents a C in the class
Question states***to receive a C
70 ≤(286 + 2x)/6) ≤ 79
(420-286)/2 ≤ x ≤ (474 - 286)/2
67 ≤ x ≤ 94

(68 + 65 + 75 + 78 + f)/6 = 70
(286 + f)/6 = 70
286 + f = 70*6
286 + f = 420
f = 134
---
(68 + 65 + 75 + 78 + f)/6 = 79
(286 + f)/6 = 79
286 + f = 79*6
286 + f = 474
f = 188

if the final counts as two tests, I assume that max score on the final is 200 (not 100).
if that's true, then:

Answer:
134 <= f <= 188
