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

15,000
1500
150,000
or 150

1 answer

To solve the equation x/50 - 94 = 189, we first need to isolate x by bringing all other terms to the other side of the equation.

Add 94 to both sides: x/50 = 283

Now, multiply both sides by 50 to get rid of the fraction: 50 * (x/50) = 50 * 283

This simplifies to: x = 14150

Therefore, the best estimate for x is 15,000.
