To find the value of x, you need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation: 4x - 189 = 578
First, add 189 to both sides of the equation to eliminate the constant term on the left side:
4x - 189 + 189 = 578 + 189
4x = 767
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
4x/4 = 767/4
x = 191.75
Therefore, the estimated value of x is 191.75.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct.
When solving the equation, 4x - 189 = 578, and adding 189 to both sides, we get:
4x = 767
Then, dividing both sides by 4, we have:
x = 191.75
However, in this case, we are asked to estimate the value of x. Since 191.75 is not a whole number, we can round it up or down to the nearest whole number. The nearest whole number to 191.75 is 192.
Therefore, the estimated value of x is 192, not 200. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
To estimate the value of x in the equation 4x - 189 = 578, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
First, let's add 189 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the constant term -189:
4x - 189 + 189 = 578 + 189
This simplifies to:
4x = 767
Next, to solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 767/4
This gives us:
x = 191.75
So the estimated value of x is approximately 191.75.
However, the given options for the answer are 150, 100, 160, and 200. None of these options match the estimated value of x. Therefore, the answer may not be possible to obtain with the given options.
