Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{x}{2.9} = -3\), we can follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by \(-1\) to eliminate the negative sign:

   \[ \frac{x}{2.9} = 3 \]

2. Multiply both sides by \(2.9\):

   \[ x = 3 \times 2.9 \]

3. Calculate \(3 \times 2.9\):

   \[ x = 8.7 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{8.7} \]
