Algebra.Com's Answer #492077 by LinnW(1048) You can put this solution on YOUR website! ( 64 + 84 + 78 + x )/4 >= 70 is the equation for obtaining at least a C \n" ); document.write( "( 226 + x )/4 >= 70 \n" ); document.write( "Multiply each side by 4 \n" ); document.write( " 226 + x >= 70*4 \n" ); document.write( " 226 + x >= 280 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 226 from each side. \n" ); document.write( " x >= 54 \n" ); document.write( "To determine the maximum value of x \n" ); document.write( "we need to solve \n" ); document.write( "( 64 + 84 + 78 + x )/4 <= 80 \n" ); document.write( "The rest is left for the student. \n" ); document.write( " |
