What is the solution of the equation −x/2.9=−3?
A. -87
B. 8.7
C. 87
D. -8.7
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Multiply both sides of the equation by -2.9 to eliminate the fraction:
(-2.9)(-x/2.9) = (-2.9)(-3)
This simplifies to:
x = 8.7
The solution to the equation is x = 8.7.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 8.7.
