    The statement is false.

    Proof by contradiction: Choose n = 1.

    Then, 12 = 12.

    Then, n (6n^2-3n-1) / 2 = 1 (6*1^2-3*1-1) / 2

    = (6-3-1) / 2

    = 2/2

    = 1.

    Since 12+42+72 + ... + (3n-2) 2 = n (6n^2-3n-1) / 2,

    12 = 1.

    This is a contradiction.

    Therefore, the statement is false.
