Answer 1

To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation:

x/50 - 94 = 189

Adding 94 to both sides of the equation, we get:

x/50 = 283

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 50, we get:

x = 14,150

So, the best estimate for x in this equation is 14,150.

Out of the provided options, the answer closest to 14,150 is 15,000.
