Explanation:

Well, let's walk through it, shall we?

3x − 5 = 4 + 3x

Our first step is to simplify both sides of the equation.

3x − 5 = 4 + 3x

3x + −5 = 4 + 3x

3x − 5 = 3x + 4

Then, we subtract 3x from both sides.

3x − 5 − 3x = 3x + 4 − 3x

−5 = 4

FInally, we'll add 5 to both sides.

−5 + 5 = 4 + 5

0 = 9

In conclusion, your answer is:

This would be false. x = -3 is not a solution to 3x - 5 = 4 + 3x
