A. 13

B. 48

C. 70

D. 96

The correct answer is B, but I would like an explanation on how to get the right answer and how to set up the equation for a problem like this in the future. Thanks.

  1. since tests count twice, add them twice. The total points must be the same as 5 scores of 70:

    88+82+84+2x = 70*5
    x = 48
