Question

Estimate the value of x given this equation: 4x-189=578.
150
160
200
100

Answer 1

But which one would be the closes

Answer 2

To find the value of x, you can isolate the variable by performing arithmetic operations on both sides of the equation:

4x - 189 = 578
4x = 578 + 189
4x = 767

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 767/4

Using long division, we get:

x = 191.75

Therefore, the estimated value of x is 192.

None of the given options (150, 160, 200, 100) are equal to the estimated value of x.

Answer 3

The closest option to the estimated value of x, which is 192, would be 200.
