You might have had better luck if you had checked your answers.
\ -\ 12|\ =\ 0)
Let's try 5:
\ -\ 12|\ =\ ?)
\ -\ 12|\ =\ ?)
Let's try -5
\ -\ 12|\ =\ ?)
\ -\ 12|\ =\ ?)
Let's re-attempt solving from the beginning:
Remove the absolute value bars and put 
in the RHS:
\ -\ 12\ =\ \pm0)
But 
is just 
, so
\ -\ 12\ =\ 0)
Which is just a simple linear equation in one variable with a single element in the solution set, namely 5 as we have seen earlier.
