To calculate the average use the following understanding:
\n" ); document.write( "average = sum of test / number of tests
\n" ); document.write( "In this case figure out the average with the following equation:
\n" ); document.write( "84 = (96+68+79+85 + x)/5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "420 = 328 + x
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 328 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "92 = x
\n" ); document.write( "The fifth test score was 92
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
