Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? x50−94=189 (1 point)

1 answer

The equation given is: x50−94=189.

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x by performing operations to both sides of the equation.

Adding 94 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x50 = 189 + 94
x50 = 283

To solve for x, we need to get rid of the 50 by dividing both sides of the equation by 50:
x = 283 / 50

Calculating this division:
x ≈ 5.66

Therefore, the best estimate for x is 5.66.
