$$112\cdot42=80:x$$

$x=\frac{5}{294}\approx 0.017006803$

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$112\times 42x=80$$

Multiply $112$ and $42$ to get $4704$.

$$4704x=80$$

Divide both sides by $4704$.

$$x=\frac{80}{4704}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{80}{4704}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $16$.

$$x=\frac{5}{294}$$
