Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the equation.

-12 = x - 5

2. Since 5 is negative and we want to leave <em>x</em> by itself, add 5 to both sides. Adding 5 with cancel out the -5.

-12 +5 = x -5 +5

3. When you add +5 to -12, the equation you are left with will be:

-7 = x

Hope this helps :)
