Question

Estimate the value of x given this equation: 4x-189=578.

150
160
200
100

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of x, you can isolate the variable by performing arithmetic operations on both sides of the equation:

4x - 189 = 578
4x = 578 + 189
4x = 767

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 767/4

Using long division, we get:

x = 191.75

Therefore, the estimated value of x is 192.

None of the given options (150, 160, 200, 100) are equal to the estimated value of x.

The closest option to the estimated value of x, which is 192, would be 200.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve for x in the equation 4x - 189 = 578, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step by step:

1. Start with the equation: 4x - 189 = 578
2. Add 189 to both sides of the equation to move the constant term (-189) to the right side: 4x = 578 + 189 = 767.
3. Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x: x = 767 ÷ 4 = 191.75.

Therefore, the value of x is approximately 191.75.

None of the answer choices provided exactly match 191.75. However, if we round the answer to the nearest whole number, 191.75 would become 192. None of the given answer choices are close to 192. Therefore, none of the provided choices (150, 160, 200, 100) are the correct estimate for the value of x.
