To solve the equation \( 4x - 189 = 578 \), we first isolate the term with \( x \).
- Add 189 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 4x - 189 + 189 = 578 + 189 \] \[ 4x = 767 \]
- Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( x \):
\[ x = \frac{767}{4} \] \[ x = 191.75 \]
Thus, the estimated value of \( x \) is \( 191.75 \).
