fred scored an average of 32 points in the first 3 games of the series.
\n" ); document.write( "However his average increased after the fourth game to 35.
\n" ); document.write( " What was his score in game 4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = his score in the 4th game
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283%2832%29+%2B+x%29%2F4\"$ = 35
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2896+%2B+x%29%2F4\"$ = 35
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "96 + x = 4(35)
\n" ); document.write( "96 + x = 140
\n" ); document.write( "x = 140 - 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 44 is the score in the 4th game
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this in the original equation \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
