Hi, i have a problem with translating this question to an algebraic problem and solve it, can anyone help?
A resort guarantees that the average temperature over the period Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be exactly 80 degrees F, or else each quest pays only half price for the facilities. If the Temperatures on Friday and Saturday were 90 degrees F and 82 degrees F respectively, what must the temperature be on Sunday so that the resort does not lose half of its revenue?

The average must equal:$$\frac{90+82+x}{3}=80$$Just solve for x
