In my opinion, the best way to solve a problem with multiple choices is to work out the problem, and match the solution. This way, you get to learn something, and it nothing matches, you know you should check your work. Back to the question.

OK

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Let x be the score of the third quiz.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Can you figure out the total score of the 3 quizzes?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The score of the first quiz is 83, the second, 91, and the third x. The total score is..... @JuniorEinstein1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

174?

@mathmate

OpenStudy (mathmate):

But you also have the score of the third quiz that you have not included. Could you put that in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what the third is

OpenStudy (mathmate):

It's x. So the total is:__________________

OpenStudy (mathmate):

total=83+91+x=174+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathmate):

So what would the average be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

85

OpenStudy (mathmate):

How did you get 85 from (174+x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm doing something wrong I' lost

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You have the sum of three numbers (83+91+x). How would you find the average of the three numbers? @JuniorEinstein1

@JuniorEinstein1 Sorry, I've got to go. If you are in a rush, you can tag someone else.
