What is the solution of the equation 1/2.9=-3

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{2.9} = -3 \), let's first simplify the left side.

Calculate \( \frac{1}{2.9} \):

\[ \frac{1}{2.9} \approx 0.3448 \]

Now, we see that \( 0.3448 \) does not equal \( -3 \).

Therefore, there is no solution to the equation \( \frac{1}{2.9} = -3 \) because the left side is a positive number and the right side is a negative number. The equation is not valid.

Answer 2

8/5x=-10

Answer 3

To solve the equation \( \frac{8}{5}x = -10 \), follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides by \( \frac{5}{8} \) to isolate \( x \): \[ x = -10 \cdot \frac{5}{8} \]

2. Calculate the right side: \[ x = -10 \cdot \frac{5}{8} = -\frac{50}{8} \]

3. Simplify \( -\frac{50}{8} \): \[ -\frac{50}{8} = -\frac{25}{4} = -6.25 \]

So the solution is: \[ x = -\frac{25}{4} \quad \text{or} \quad x = -6.25 \]
