\n" ); document.write( "\"19.6\" = current hours
\n" ); document.write( "How many additional credit hours of 4.0
\n" ); document.write( "work will raise her GPA to 3.3?
\n" ); document.write( "Let the number of additional hours needed = \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.3+=+%284x+%2B+49%29%2F+%2819.6+%2B+x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3.3%2A%2819.6+%2B+x%29+=+4x+%2B+49\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"64.68+%2B+3.3x+=+4x+%2B+49\"
\n" ); document.write( "\".7x+=+15.68\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+22.4\"
\n" ); document.write( "She will need 22.4 hours of 4.0 work or
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A22.4+=+89.6\" more credit hours
