Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{x}{2.9} = -3\), we can start by eliminating the negative signs:

\(\frac{x}{2.9} = 3\).

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

\(x = 3 \times 2.9\).

Calculating that gives:

\(x = 8.7\).

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

Thus, the correct response is: 8.7
