Answer: Yes you will still get a true statement because 3 is the solution to the equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Well substitute 3 for x into the equation and solve for to see if they equal each other.
12 = 5(3) - 3
12 = 15 - 3
12 = 12
So if you substitute 3 you get the solution .
Now solve for x in the real equation to see if you get 3.
4x + 12 = 9x -3
-4x -4x
12 = 5x -3
+3 +3
15 = 5x
x = 3
