Hey there!
I'm assuming your expression is actually

. If it's not, let me know and I'll be happy to help you out further.
If x were equal to –9, your expression would be undefined. If you solve it with this value plugged in for x, you will get the following:





You can't divide anything by zero. This expression would be undefined if x were –9 since it makes the denominator zero. Therefore, x ≠ –9.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2(x - 5) = 12
-2x + 10 = 12 (this is the mistake, -2 times -5 = + 10)
-2x = 12 - 10
-2x = 2
x = 2/(-2)
x = -1
