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. Next, multiply both sides by \(2.9\) to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = 3 \times 2.9
\]
\[
x = 8.7
\]
Thus, the solution of the equation is \(8.7\).
So the correct response is:
**8.7**
