Apologies for the incorrect response again. Let's solve the equation step by step:

5x + 2 = 5(x - 2) + 12

First, distribute the 5 on the right side:

5x + 2 = 5x - 10 + 12

Combining like terms:

5x + 2 = 5x + 2

Now, subtract 5x from both sides to isolate the variable:

2 = 2

Since 2 is equal to 2, this equation is true for any value of x.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

True.
