\n" ); document.write( "Let x = score on fourth test
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x+90+87+79)/4 >= 80
\n" ); document.write( "(x+256)/4 >= 80
\n" ); document.write( "x+256 >= 320
\n" ); document.write( "x >= 64
\n" ); document.write( "The score on her fourth test must be \"greater than or equal\" to 64
