This is from Chemistry class, but for some reason it's confusing me. Is this supposed to be an estimate on the x-axis, or exact?

I believe you're suppose to estimate the values that appear along the x-axis. You'll notice that the values you are given are for grams, which is plotted along the y-axis. Once you plot the correct y, find where that y hits the curve and then the x-value at that point should give you your answer I believe
