The first equation is not true because there is no such thing as the log of a negative number. No positive number (base) raised to any power can be negative.
The second equation is equivalent to
log 3 + log4 = log12, which is true, since log12 = log(3x4)
The second equation is equivalent to
log 3 + log4 = log12, which is true, since log12 = log(3x4)
