Suppose your grades on three science exams are 82, 94 and 89.  Which equation represents the score needed on the fourth exam if you want a 90% in the class?
*Hint: Average = sum of all numbers/number of numbers

• ^{(82 + 94 + 89)}/₃ = x
• ^{(82 + 94 + 89 + x)}/₄ = 90
• ^{(82 + 94 + 89)}/₃ + x = 90
• 4x + 82 + 89 + 94  = 90

A rental company at Best Bargain Rental costs $150, plus $0.10 per mile.  Which equation determines the number of miles (x) if the total cost was $360

• 360 = (150)(0.10x)

• 360 = 150 + ^x/_0.10
• 360 = 150 - ^x/_0.10
