To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation -2x + 902 = 1,518, we can subtract 902 from both sides first:
-2x = 1,518 - 902
-2x = 616
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for x:
x = 616 / -2
x = -308
None of the provided answer choices are an exact match to the calculated value of x. However, the closest estimate from the given choices is -300.
