Bentley got a score of 86 in math , 82 in reading and 96 in music.
What should be his combined score in physics and history to maintain an average score of 88 ?
;
Let x = the combined score of history and Physics
:
%2886+%2B+82+%2B+96+%2B+x%29%2F5 = 88
:
x + 264 = 5(88)
:
x = 440 - 264
:
x = 176 is the combines score of H & P
