Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x

Question

given the following equation? 110x+19=2,243
Responses

2

200

2,000

20

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 110x + 19 = 2243 \), we can isolate \( x \).

1. Subtract 19 from both sides: \[ 110x = 2243 - 19 \] \[ 110x = 2224 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 110: \[ x = \frac{2224}{110} \] \[ x \approx 20.2 \]

Given the choices provided (2, 200, 2,000, 20), the best estimate for \( x \) is \( 20 \).
