To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( -5 = 3m - 14 + 12 \), we first simplify the right-hand side:
\[ -5 = 3m - 14 + 12 \]
Combine the constant terms \( -14 + 12 \):
\[ -14 + 12 = -2 \]
So the equation simplifies to:
\[ -5 = 3m - 2 \]
Next, we add \( 2 \) to both sides to isolate the term with \( m \):
\[ -5 + 2 = 3m \]
This results in:
\[ -3 = 3m \]
Now, to solve for \( m \), divide both sides by \( 3 \):
\[ m = -1 \]
Since you asked to solve for \( x \), it appears that \( x \) is not actually present in the original equation provided. The final answer we found is for \( m \):
\[ m = -1 \]
If you meant to solve for \( x \) itself in a different equation or context, please provide the relevant information.
