You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x is the total score on the first six tests.
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F6+=+78\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 468
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "y is the score needed on the next test
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28468%2By%29%2F7+=+80\"
\n" ); document.write( "468+y = 560
\n" ); document.write( "y = 560-468
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"highlight_green%2892%29\" on the next test
