To find the best estimate for x, we can solve the given equation:
x/50 - 94 = 189
First, we can add 94 to both sides of the equation to isolate x:
x/50 = 283
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 50 to further isolate x:
x = 50 * 283 = 14,150
Therefore, the best estimate for x is 14,150.
Out of the given options, the closest estimate to 14,150 is 15,000.
