Answer 1

To determine the equation's undefined value in the expression \( 12 = 6x \cdot (8x - 5) \), we need to identify which term can result in the expression being undefined.

The term that can lead to an undefined value is \( 8x - 5 \), as it could potentially equal zero if \( x \) takes a certain value, leading to division by zero in a broader context (if we were dividing).

Next, we can find the value of \( x \) that makes \( 8x - 5 = 0 \):

1. Set the equation to zero:
\[
8x - 5 = 0
\]

2. Solve for \( x \):
\[
8x = 5
\]
\[
x = \frac{5}{8}
\]

Thus, the specific undefined value for \( x \) would be:
\[
x \neq \frac{5}{8}
\]

### Answers:
- The term that helps determine the equation's undefined value: **8x - 5**
- The undefined value: **\( x \neq \frac{5}{8} \)**
