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

Question

-87

8.7

-8.7

87

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{x}{2.9} = -3\), we can start by multiplying both sides by \(-1\) to eliminate the negative signs:

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

Next, we multiply both sides by \(2.9\) to isolate \(x\):

\[ x = 3 \times 2.9 \]

Calculating the multiplication:

\[ x = 8.7 \]

So the solution to the equation is \(8.7\).

Thus, the answer is 8.7.
