I'm not sure about the '5 steps', but this is how to set up the problem:
\n" ); document.write( "In general the average of two scores, s1 and s2 will be
\n" ); document.write( " $\"average+=+%28s1%2Bs2%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We are told that one score is 6 more than the other -> s1 = s2 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "So we have $\"average+=+%28%28s2%2B6%29%2Bs2%29%2F2+=+81\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for s2 -> $\"2s2+=+81%2A2+-+6+-%3E+s2+=+156%2F2+=+78\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Thus the two quiz scores are s1 = 78 + 6 = 84, and s2 = 78. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
