:
You can do it this way:
:
Lower limit equation
=> 70
128 + x => 210; multiplied eq by 3
:
x => 210 - 128
x => 82 is the lowest grade he can have.
:
Upper limit equation
=< 79
128 + x =< 237; multiplied eq by 3
:
x =< 237 - 128
x =< 109 is not a possible score.
:
We can say that scores of 82 to 100 will place him in this range
