To determine when the equation \(-5 = 4 - 3x4 - 3x\) becomes undefined, we first need to clarify the expression involved because it appears to be written incorrectly or is confusingly formatted.

If we assume that you meant \(4 - 3 \cdot x \cdot 4 - 3 \cdot x\), then we can rewrite it clearly. However, if it is meant to simplify and solve for \(x\), we can look at a general expression involving division, as that is typically where undefined values arise.

The only case in mathematical expressions where an equation becomes undefined is typically due to division by zero.

However, let's simplify the equation assuming a common form like \(−5 = 4 - 3x\):

1. Rearranging it gives us \(−5 - 4 = -3x \Rightarrow -9 = -3x \Rightarrow x = \frac{9}{3} = 3\).

If this interpretation holds, there is no case of undefined for typical values of \(x\).

If your equation involves \(x\) in a denominator or perhaps an \(x^2 - 4\) type scenario where it would indeed involve division leading to potential undefined:
- Check the expression formed from your original, as we do not have the specific division to diagnose any \(x\) making the denominator equal to zero.

For \(x = \pm\) forms, if \(3x + 4 = 0\), we rearrange to resolve,

Simply put:
If you want to clarify the equation to pinpoint where it would equal zero, let me know.

Given your sets of values, it's likely a misunderstanding of how undefined operates — this serves to provide insight based on algebraic manipulation, seeking if \(x\) fulfills a zero denominator scenario would clarify your question.

So please define what transformation or context to help provide the answer more fitting. In which format does this equation exist, and where could \(x\) yield the undefined behavior?

Please provide any further specifications necessary!
