\n" ); document.write( "On an algebra test, the highest grade was 44 points more than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 140.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the highest grade.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Lowest grade: x
\n" ); document.write( "Highest grade: x + 44
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "x + x+44 = 140
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 48 (lowest score)
\n" ); document.write( "x+44 = 92 (highest score)
