Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? 21x+1,998=2,243 (1 point) Responses 100 100 10 10 1 1 1,000

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Start by subtracting 1,998 from both sides:

21x + 1,998 - 1,998 = 2,243 - 1,998
21x = 245

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 21:

21x/21 = 245/21
x = 11.6667

However, none of the given answer choices is the best estimate for x.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. I made an error in the calculations. Let's solve the equation correctly:

21x + 1,998 = 2,243

We can subtract 1,998 from both sides:

21x = 2,243 - 1,998
21x = 245

To isolate x, we divide both sides by 21:

21x/21 = 245/21
x = 11.6667

So, x is approximately 11.6667.
