This question is really asking you to find the value of x. Once you have found the x value you can prove or disprove the equation. To solve for x, isolate it in the equation.

3x + 12 = 5x +4 (Subtract 4 from both sides)

3x + 8 = 5x (Subtract 3x from both sides)

8 = 2x (divide both sides by 2)

4 = x So, if x = 4 does that prove your equation is correct?

3(4) + 12 = 24 5(4) + 4 = 24
