-12 = f/0.2

First, we can start out by making our goal to get the variable (f) on one side of the problem by itself. To do this, multiply both sides by 0.2.

-12 * 0.2 = f

Second, our next step is to multiply -12 times 0.2. This can be solved in your head, on a piece of paper, on a calculator, etc. (-12 times 0.2 = 2.4).

-2.4 = f

Third, our last step will be to switch sides. Basically flip the problem.

f = -2.4

Answer:
\fbox {x = -2.4}
