    1/8x=-4200, to get x, multiply each side by 8. x - - 33600

    Imma try my best ...

    Since 1/8 equals 0.125, I'll just use that.

    0.125*x = - 4,200

    First, we want to isolate x, so we have to divide 0.125*x by 0.125, so it cancels out the 0.125. If we only do it to one side, it becomes unbalanced, so we have to do the same to - 4200.

    x = - 33,600

    This should be correct, but let's check.

    0.125*x=-4200

    0.125*-33,600 = ? - 4,200

    Using calculator to multiply ...

    -4,200=-4,200

    So that should be correct unless there's some special highschool-y math stuff going on ...
