anonymous · Answer

how do you solve for x here

anonymous · Answer

ten is too large
$$\frac{x+77+71+77+67}{5}\leq 74$$ add the numbers in the numerator first

anonymous · Answer

ignore the "ten is too large" that came from some other post 
site is goofy these days

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{x+292}{5}\leq 74$$ multiply both sides by $5$ then subtract 292
