Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation

Question

110x+19=2243
A. 2
B. 2000
C. 20
D. 290

Answer 1

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

1. Subtract 19 from both sides:

\[ 110x = 2243 - 19 \] \[ 110x = 2224 \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 110 to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = \frac{2224}{110} \] \[ x = 20.2181818181 \ldots \]

This means that \(x\) is approximately 20. Therefore, the best estimate for \(x\) based on the options provided is:

C. 20
