Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation?

Question

−2x+902=1,518

Answer 1

To solve for x in the equation -2x + 902 = 1,518, we need to isolate x.

First, we can subtract 902 from both sides of the equation to get:
-2x = 1,518 - 902
-2x = 616

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:
x = 616 / -2
x = -308

Therefore, the best estimate for x is -308.
