Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation -8x/2.9 = -3, we'll first need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2.9. This gives us:

(-8x/2.9) * 2.9 = -3 * 2.9

Simplifying the left side, the 2.9s cancel out leaving us with:

-8x = -8.7

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -8 to isolate the variable x:

-8x / -8 = -8.7 / -8

Simplifying further, the -8s cancel out:

x = 1.0875

So the solution to the equation -8x/2.9 = -3 is x = 1.0875.
