Our task is to solve the equation for t.

$\sf{3t+4=12+3t}$

The whole point of solving an equation is isolating the variable.

Here, the variable is t. To isolate it, we will combine some like terms first.

$\sf{3t-3t=12-4}$

$\sf{0t=8}$

$\sf{0=8}$

A false statement means no value of x will satisfy the equation; it has no solution.
