Using the definition for the average, and naming each reasut as:

Average = 73

First score = 76

Second score = x-5

Third score= x

Write the equation


\begin{gathered} 73=(76+(x-5)+(x))/(3) \\ 73=(71+2x)/(3) \\ 219=71+2x \\ 148=2x \\ x=(148)/(2) \\ x=74 \end{gathered}

The second score is 69 and the third score is 74.
