Answer:

  A:  x = 0, x = 1

  B:  the value of x that makes it true is 8/3, not an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation 12 = 3x+4, you want two values of x that make it false, and an explanation why all integers make it false.

Part A:

The equation will be false for x=0 and x=1.

  12 = 3(0) +4 . . . . false

  12 = 3(1) +4 . . . . false

Part B:

When we subtract 4 from both sides of the equation, we get ...

  12 -4 = 3x +4 -4

  8 = 3x

Integer values of x make the equation false, because 8 is not an integer multiple of 3.
