x + 12 = −1
x plus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction equals negative 1

x + 1 = 12
x plus 1 equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction

x − 1 = −12
x minus 1 equals negative Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction

x − 12 = 1

Answer 1

To determine which equation has a solution of \( x = -12 \), we can substitute \(-12\) for \(x\) in each equation and see which one holds true.

1. Equation: \(x + 12 = -1\)
   Substitution: \(-12 + 12 = -1\)
   Result: \(0 \neq -1\) (not a solution)

2. Equation: \(x + 1 = 12\)
   Substitution: \(-12 + 1 = 12\)
   Result: \(-11 \neq 12\) (not a solution)

3. Equation: \(x - 1 = -12\)
   Substitution: \(-12 - 1 = -12\)
   Result: \(-13 \neq -12\) (not a solution)

4. Equation: \(x - 12 = 1\)
   Substitution: \(-12 - 12 = 1\)
   Result: \(-24 \neq 1\) (not a solution)

None of the equations provided have a solution of \(x = -12\).
