-6

Explanation:

First, solve the denominator: |-1| + 1
|-1| is in an absolute value. When you take the number out of the absolute value, it would be 1.
The denominator would be 1 + 1 = 2

Solve: -12/2
Either simplify or divide.

Simplify:
The common factor would be 2. Divide -12/2=-6 and 2/2 =1.
The final answer would be -6/1 or simply -6.

Divide:
-12 divide 2 = -6
