x = 2 not 12.  2x2=4 4+1=5.  It's algebra.

The math problem is solving for x. 

I have no idea what you are arguing about or how it got started, but you seem to be acting a little silly about it.  Algebra is math.

You can't do math with letters.

x2+1=5

That statement is false.

Wrong.
Right.
x=12

Yet again we had to use numbers to prove the mathematical equation.

Ok, this is going to look strange, but there's no way to show the actual work from by homework, so deal with it.

-4x-7=49

(add 7 to each side and you get...)

-4x=56

(divide each side by -4 and you get...)

x=-14

(check if this is correct [it is]; i just did math with letters)

No the numbers are the math part of it.

Wrong. 
Quote from: OED:

mathematics, n.
 1. Originally: (a collective term for) geometry, arithmetic, and certain physical sciences involving geometrical reasoning, such as astronomy and optics; spec. the disciplines of the quadrivium collectively. In later use: the science of space, number, quantity, and arrangement, whose methods involve logical reasoning and usually the use of symbolic notation, and which includes geometry, arithmetic, algebra, and analysis; mathematical operations or calculations. Colloq. abbreviated maths, (N. Amer.) math.

Maths can be purely symbolic, therefore without knowledge of the nature of the variables it is entirely reasonable to say that all or none of the options you provided could be correct.

Actually, given that no other constraints have been placed on x, the solution is x = 2 or -2.

No you did math with numbers in place of letters.  Try again.

We use it in maths, though.

It's called pie.  It stands for a number 3.14... with a bunch of numbers after the .14, and with out the number value you wouldn't be able to use it in a math problem.
