To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation 21x + 1,998 = 2,243.
Subtracting 1,998 from both sides gives us:
21x = 245
Dividing both sides by 21, we find:
x = 245/21
The best estimate for x is approximately 11.67.
Therefore, none of the given answer options (1,000, 10, 1, 100) are the best estimate for x.
