Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? −2x+902=1,518 (1 point) Responses −600 negative 600 300 300 600 600 −300

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( -2x + 902 = 1,518 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 902 from both sides: \[ -2x = 1,518 - 902 \] \[ -2x = 616 \]

2. Divide both sides by -2: \[ x = \frac{616}{-2} \] \[ x = -308 \]

So, the best estimate for \( x \) is \( -300 \).
