To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{5} - 12 = -1 \), follow these steps:
1. **Add 12 to both sides** to isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
\frac{x}{5} = -1 + 12
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\frac{x}{5} = 11
\]
2. **Multiply both sides by 5** to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 11 \times 5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 55
\]
So, the solution is \( x = 55 \).
