To solve the equation \(-2x + 902 = 1,518\), we can follow these steps:
-
Subtract \(902\) from both sides of the equation: \[ -2x = 1,518 - 902 \] \[ -2x = 616 \]
-
Divide both sides by \(-2\): \[ x = \frac{616}{-2} \] \[ x = -308 \]
Now, looking at the given answer choices, since \(-308\) is not listed, none of the provided options -300, -600, 600, or 300 - precisely match the calculated result of \(-308\).
However, among these responses, \(-300\) is the closest estimate to \(-308\).
Thus, the best estimate for \(x\) is: −300.
