Let the sum of Adam's seven test scores = x. Let's find the sum.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F6+=+84\" Multiply by both sides by 6.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+504\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of Adam's seven test scores is 504. To find the correct average, you'll divide this sum by the number of scores, or 7.
\n" ); document.write( "Let A = Adam's correct average.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+504%2F7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+72\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Adam's correct average test score is 72.
