I am learning conditional statements an in two challenges they ask you to show if something is True or if something equals a certain number. I cannot get my code to work please advise.

Without seeing your code I can just give you a generic hint. To test if something is true you only need to name it as the conditional expression. For example, if you have a boolean variable named maybeTrue:
if (maybeTrue) {
// code here for when true
}
Then to test if something equals a certain number you'd use the equality operator which is two equal signs. For example to see if a variable named howMuch is equal to 12:
if (howMuch == 12) {
// code here for when equal to 12
}
