A stuent received scores of 51, 79, and 57 on their first three tests for a class.
There will be a total of four tests for the class and the student hopes to acheive and average score of n in the class.
Express the score, S, needed on the fourth test to acheive this average, as a function of n.
:
%28%28s%2B51%2B79%2B57%29%29%2F4 = n
s + 187 = 4n
s = 4n - 187
