To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation:
x/50 - 94 = 189
Adding 94 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x/50 = 283
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 50, we get:
x = 14,150
So, the best estimate for x in this equation is 14,150.
Out of the provided options, the answer closest to 14,150 is 15,000.
