in order to solve for x:

take the needed average and multiply it by the number of tests that will be taken; and subtract the known tests scores from it

amistre64 · Answer

Is it D?

anonymous · Answer

To solve the equation algebriacally you first need to get ride of the 4 you are dividing by.  So we multiply both sides by 4.
92+96+88+x = 372
Now solve for x

anonymous · Answer

D is correct

anonymous · Answer

No, I got 2 answers. C & D. I'm confused which 1 it is.

anonymous · Answer

C is incorrect.  But, since it's multiple choice we can substitute to check our answer.  We know the average is the sum of the tests divided by the number of tests.
