To find the solution to the equation, we can isolate the variable x.
Starting with the equation -x/2.9 = -3, we can multiply both sides by 2.9 to eliminate the fraction:
(-x/2.9) * 2.9 = (-3) * 2.9,
-x = -3 * 2.9.
Multiplying -3 by 2.9 gives us:
-x = -8.7.
To isolate x, we can multiply both sides by -1, which changes the sign:
-1 * -x = -1 * -8.7,
x = 8.7.
Therefore, the solution to the equation -x/2.9 = -3 is x = 8.7.
