Which of the following answers gives the best estimate for x given the following equation? −2x+902=1,518 (1 point) Responses 300 300 600 600 −600 negative 600 −300
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:
−2x + 902 - 902 = 1,518 - 902
−2x = 616
Next, we divide both sides by -2 to solve for x:
-2x / -2 = 616 / -2
x = -308
Therefore, the best estimate for x is -308.
