To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation -2x + 902 = 1,518.

By subtracting 902 from both sides of the equation, we get -2x = 1,518 - 902.

Performing the subtraction, we have -2x = 616.

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x. We get x = -308.

None of the given options (A, B, C, or D) matches the solution x = -308.
