To determine the value that makes the equation \(-5 = 4 - 3x4 - 3x\) undefined, we need to analyze the equation. It's important to check whether any part of the expression leads to division by zero or is otherwise undefined.

First, let's rewrite the equation clearly:

\(-5 = 4 - 3x4 - 3x\)

If we interpret it with the intention of treating it in a simpler form, it seems there may be a misunderstanding as it appears to just represent an equation rather than having a variable making it undefined. However, if we rewrite it more clearly as:
\[-5 = 4 - 3x(4 - 3x)\]

We can now see that to have an undefined state, typically, we look for a denominator equal to zero.

Expanding this:
\[4 - 3x(4 - 3x) = 4 - 12x + 9x^2\]

However, the original representation lacks a clear division by a term that could equal zero.

If you meant something else, or if there was supposed to be a specific division or a fraction where a value of \(x\) would make it undefined (like \(4 - 3x = 0\)), then we calculate:

Set \(4 - 3x = 0\):
\[
3x = 4
\]
\[
x = \frac{4}{3}
\]

Thus substuting \(x = \frac{4}{3}\) would yield an undefined form.

Based on your provided options, it seems the question might be more basic than this quadratic expansion.

The correct answer based on standard division logic likely matches:
\(\frac{4}{3}\) or 43
as the definition condition checks out.

So the final answer is: **43**.
