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

x over 50−94=189

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with x/50 - 94 = 189, let's first move the constant term -94 to the other side by adding it to both sides of the equation:

x/50 = 189 + 94

x/50 = 283

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

50 * (x/50) = 50 * 283

x = 14150

Therefore, the best estimate for x is 14150.
