Hello, the answer should be A,B and D options.

First, let's edit the given equations option-by-option.

Option A:


-5x+12=5x+12


-5x-5x=-12+12


-10x=0


x=0

There is only one solution which is
x=0.

Option B:


-5x+12=5x-5


-5x-5x=-12-5


-10x=-17


x=(17)/(10)

There is only one solution which is
x=(17)/(10).

Option C:


-5x+12=-5x-12


-5x+5x=-12-12


0\\eq -24

In Math, zero is not equal to minus twenty four (
0\\eq -24) that's why we do not have any solution in this equation.

Option D:


-5x+12=-12x-12


-5x+12x=-12-12


7x=-24


x=-((24)/(7) )

There is only one solution which is
x=-((24)/(7) )
