To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Let's start by subtracting 902 from both sides of the equation:
-2x + 902 - 902 = 1518 - 902
-2x = 616
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
x = 616 / -2
x = -308
Therefore, the best estimate for x is -300 (option d).
Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation?
−2x+902=1,518
