analytical: x
\n" ); document.write( "verbal: x+145.7
\n" ); document.write( "quantitative: x+145.7+1.1
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+145.7+x+145.7+1.1 = 318.9
\n" ); document.write( "3x+292.5 = 318.9
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 26.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8.8 this is the analytical score
\n" ); document.write( "Verbal: 8.8+145.7 = 154.5
\n" ); document.write( "Quantitative: 8.8+145.7+1.1 = 155.6\r
