What is the solution of the equation - x/2.9 = -3

A. -87
B. 87
C. 8.7
D. -8.7

1 answer

To find the solution of the equation -x/2.9 = -3, we need to isolate x.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 2.9 to get rid of the fraction:
2.9 * (-x/2.9) = 2.9 * (-3)
This simplifies to:
-x = -8.7
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -1 to isolate x:
(-x)/(-1) = (-8.7)/(-1)
This simplifies to:
x = 8.7

Therefore, the solution to the equation -x/2.9 = -3 is x = 8.7

The correct answer is C. 8.7
