To solve the equation −x/2.9 = −3, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 2.9 to isolate x.

(-x/2.9) * 2.9 = (-3) * 2.9
-x = -8.7

To solve for x, you should multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to get x by itself:

x = 8.7

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.7.

To solve the equation 8/5x = -10, you should multiply both sides of the equation by 5/8 to isolate x.

(8/5x) * (5/8) = -10 * (5/8)
x = -50/8

Simplifying the fraction -50/8, we get x = -25/4.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -25/4.
