Moshe · Answer 1

So average = (total of scores) / (number of tests)

needs at least average of 70

at least is represented as greater than or equal to or the sign (>)

70> (total) / (number oftests)

since we have 3 tests, we have to have 3 scores so

70> (x+y+z) / 3

he scored 85 and 60

70> (x+85+60) / 3 (doesn't matter which to subsitute)

70> (x+145) / 3

multiply obht sides by 3

210>x+145

subtract 145 from both sides

65>x

he needs to get at leas 65 on his third test
