To solve the equation -8x/2.9 = -3, we'll first need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.9. This gives us:
(-8x/2.9) * 2.9 = -3 * 2.9
Simplifying the left side, the 2.9s cancel out leaving us with:
-8x = -8.7
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -8 to isolate the variable x:
-8x / -8 = -8.7 / -8
Simplifying further, the -8s cancel out:
x = 1.0875
So the solution to the equation -8x/2.9 = -3 is x = 1.0875.
