8.7

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{x}{2.9} = -3\), follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides by \(-1\) to eliminate the negative signs: \[\frac{x}{2.9} = 3\]

2. Multiply both sides by \(2.9\) to isolate \(x\): \[x = 3 \times 2.9\]

3. Calculate the right side: \[x = 8.7\]

Thus, the solution is: 8.7
