To find the best estimate for x, we need to isolate x in the given equation.
Start by subtracting 902 from both sides:
-2x + 902 - 902 = 1.518 - 902
-2x = -900.482
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x/-2 = -900.482/-2
x ≈ 450.241
Out of the given answer options, the closest estimate for x is 600. Therefore, the best estimate for x is 600.
Start by subtracting 902 from both sides:
-2x + 902 - 902 = 1.518 - 902
-2x = -900.482
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x/-2 = -900.482/-2
x ≈ 450.241
Out of the given answer options, the closest estimate for x is 600. Therefore, the best estimate for x is 600.
