To solve the equation −x/2.9=−3, you can multiply both sides of the equation by 2.9 to isolate the "x" term:

−x/2.9 * 2.9 = −3 * 2.9
-x = -8.7

To solve for "x", you can multiply both sides of the equation by -1 (or divide by -1), which inverts the signs:

-1 * (-x) = -1 * -8.7
x = 8.7

Therefore, the solution to the equation −x/2.9=−3 is 8.7.
