You can put this solution on YOUR website! A student needs an average of 70 or more to pass a course. He scored 82, 80, and 87 on the first three exams. Write an inequality representing the score she must get on the last test to receive credit for the course.
------------------------
Let the last test score be "x".
----
Equation:
(82+80+87+x)/4 = 70
249+x = 4*70
x = 280-249
x = 31 (score she need on the last test to pass with an average of 70)
