To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation for x. We can do this by isolating x on one side of the equation.
x/50 - 94 = 189
First, we can add 94 to both sides of the equation:
x/50 = 283
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 50 to get rid of the fraction:
50(x/50) = 50(283)
x = 14,150
Therefore, the best estimate for x is 14,150.
Out of the given answer choices, the closest option is 15,000.
