Let x = score on fourth test\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add up the four test scores and divide by 4 to get the average. We want the average to be 90 or larger, so\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2894%2B82%2B97%2Bx%29%2F4+%3E=+90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28273%2Bx%29%2F4+%3E=+90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2A%28273%2Bx%29%2F4+%3E=+4%2A90\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"273%2Bx+%3E=+360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"273%2Bx-273+%3E=+360-273\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%3E=+87\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So Simon must make an 87 or better to ensure his average is 90 or better.\r
