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

Question

87, 8.7, -87, -8.7

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-\frac{x}{2.9} = -3\), you can start by eliminating the negative sign on both sides:

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

Next, multiply both sides by \(2.9\):

\[ x = 3 \times 2.9 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 8.7 \]

Thus, the solution to the equation is \(x = 8.7\).
