which of the following answers gives the best estimate for X given the following equation? x/50 - 94 = 189?

A.1,500
B. 15,000
C. 150
D. 150,000

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x. Let's begin by adding 94 to both sides of the equation:

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

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 50 to eliminate the fraction:

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

Therefore, the best estimate for x is 14,150. None of the given answer choices match this value, so none of the options are correct.
