Let $\"+x+\"$ = points she must score in next game
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+21+%2B+24+%2B+15+%2B+21+%2B+x+%29+%2F+5+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+81+%2B+x+%29+%2F+5+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+81+%2B+x+=+100+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+100+-+81+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+19+\"$
