She needs to get at least a 96 on her second test, so 96, 97, 98, 99, or 100. :)

anonymous · Answer

can you show me how you solved the problem? i forgot to add 'show work' (:

$$88+x\ge92$$
Subtract 88 from each side to get:
$$x\ge4$$
So now you add 4 to the 92 to get 96, Mindy's minimum score on her second test to get at least a 92 average.
