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.
