williamson counts his midterm as 2/3 of the grade and his final as 1/3 of the grade.
\n" ); document.write( "wendy scored only 48on the midterm.
\n" ); document.write( "What range of scores on the final exam would put wendy's average b/w 70 and 79 inclusive?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let x = grade required for a 70
\n" ); document.write( "Count the midterm grade twice and the final once, so you have
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2848+%2B+48+%2B+x%29%2F3\" = 70
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both side by 3
\n" ); document.write( "96 + x = 3(70)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 210 - 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 114, so it's hopeless, cannot make a grade of 70
