Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? x/50−94=189 (1 point) Responses 150 150 15,000 15,000 1,500 1,500 150,000

Answer 1

To find the best estimate for x, we first need to isolate x in the equation. We can do this by adding 94 to both sides of the equation:

x/50 - 94 + 94 = 189 + 94
x/50 = 283

Now, to solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 50:

50(x/50) = 50(283)
x = 50 * 283
x = 14,150

The best estimate for x is 14,150.

None of the given options are correct.

Answer 2

are you sure

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. Let me recalculate.

x/50 - 94 = 189

First, we can isolate x by adding 94 to both sides:

x/50 = 189 + 94
x/50 = 283

Then, we can multiply both sides by 50 to solve for x:

50(x/50) = 50(283)
x = 50 * 283
x = 14,150

So, the best estimate for x is 14,150. Therefore, the correct answer is 15,000.
