Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

O False

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Simplifying the Equation Given...}}\\\\(1)/(4)(12x-16)=4 \\---------------\\\\\rightarrow \left \{ {{(1)/(4) * 12 = 3} \atop {(1)/(4)*-16 = -4}} \right.\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{3x - 4 = 4}\\\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{3x - 4 = 4\\eq 3x - 16 = 4} \leftarrow\\\\\text{The 'simplified' equation is not distributed correctly.}`

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
