Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation
X/50 -94=189
A. 1,500
B. 150,000
C. 15,000
D. 150
Pick the closest answer
To find the best estimate for x given the equation X/50 -94=189, we can start by isolating the x term. Adding 94 to both sides of the equation gives us X/50 = 283.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 50:
(X/50) * 50 = 283 * 50
X = 14,150
Among the given options, the closest answer to this estimated value of x is 15,000.
Therefore, the best estimate for x given the equation is C. 15,000.
