Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? −2x+902=1,518 (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, we can subtract 902 from both sides of the equation to get:

-2x + 902 - 902 = 1,518 - 902

This simplifies to:

-2x = 616

To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2:

-2x / -2 = 616 / -2

This gives us:

x = -308

Therefore, the best estimate for x is -308.
