Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 110x + 19 = 2,243 \), we can first isolate \( x \).

1. Subtract 19 from both sides: \[ 110x = 2,243 - 19 \] \[ 110x = 2,224 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 110 to find \( x \): \[ x = \frac{2,224}{110} \]

Now we can simplify \( \frac{2,224}{110} \): \[ x \approx 20.18 \]

Given the options:

• 2,000
• 20

The best estimate for \( x \) is 20.
