Answer 1

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

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

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

Calculating \( \frac{2,224}{110} \): \[ x \approx 20.2 \]

Considering the options provided:

• 2
• 200
• 20
• 2,000

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