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.
To solve for the value of x in the equation −6x = 48, you need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation in order to maintain equality.
In this case, you should divide both sides of the equation by -6 or negative 6. This step will eliminate the coefficient -6 from the left side and simplify the equation to solve for x.
Therefore, the correct response is to divide by -6 or divide by negative 6.
