Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the fifth text score so we can form and equation as:
\n" ); document.write( " (73+79+77+81+x)/5=80
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5 toget:
\n" ); document.write( "(73+79+77+81+x)=400
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "310+x=400
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 310:
\n" ); document.write( "x=90
\n" ); document.write( "So a score of 90 is needed.
\n" ); document.write( "Got it?
