Question 754607: So I have the following question on my review packet, but I cant seem to solve it. I have no idea what steps to take. Here it is:
Stephan bowled 160, 180, and 215 in this first three games. What score would Stephan have to bowl in his fourth game for his 4 game average to be 180? Explain how you determined your answer.
What steps do I take for such question? I know that I have to do (160+180+215+x)/4 = 180, but how do I solve such equation?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(160+180+215+x)/4 = 180
---
555+x = 4*180
---
555+x = 720
x = 165
