To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation −2x+902=1,518.
First, we subtract 902 from both sides of the equation:
−2x = 1,518 - 902
−2x = 616
Next, we divide both sides by -2 to solve for x:
x = 616 / -2
x = -308
So, the best estimate for x is -300.
To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation 21x + 1,998 = 2,243.
First, we subtract 1,998 from both sides of the equation:
21x = 2,243 - 1,998
21x = 245
Next, we divide both sides by 21 to solve for x:
x = 245 / 21
x ≈ 11.67
Since we are looking for the best estimate, we can round x to the nearest whole number, which is 12.
So, the best estimate for x is 10.
To find the best estimate for x, we need to solve the equation x/50 - 94 = 189.
First, we add 94 to both sides of the equation:
x/50 = 189 + 94
x/50 = 283
Next, we multiply both sides by 50 to solve for x:
x = 283 * 50
x = 14,150
So, the best estimate for x is 15,000.

An internet service provider had a total of 17,156 customers last year. They gained a net of 1,802 customers this year. They hope to reach at least 35,000 customers in ten years. Estimate the number of customers they need to reach their goal.(1 point)
They need approximately
more customers to reach their goal.
To estimate the number of customers the internet service provider needs to reach their goal in ten years, we need to add the net customer gain to the current number of customers and subtract it from their goal of 35,000.
Current number of customers: 17,156
Net customer gain: 1,802
Goal number of customers: 35,000
Estimated number of customers needed to reach the goal = Goal - (Current + Net gain)
Estimated number of customers needed = 35,000 - (17,156 + 1,802) = 35,000 - 18,958 = 16,042
Therefore, they need approximately 16,042 more customers to reach their goal.
