  12         
----- = -12/5
x + 5        
$$\frac{12}{x + 5} = - \frac{12}{5}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{12}{x + 5} = - \frac{12}{5}$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 12

b1 = 5 + x

a2 = 1

b2 = -5/12

so we get the equation
$$\frac{\left(-5\right) 12}{12} = x + 5$$
$$-5 = x + 5$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 10$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 10 / (-1)

We get the answer: x = -10
