True/False

A financial analyst is standardizing two operational cost models, 8x2−2x−3\frac{8}{x^2 - 2x - 3} and 3xx2+4x+3\frac{3x}{x^2 + 4x + 3}, so they can be easily compared. They determine that the Least Common Denominator (LCD) for these models is (x+1)(x−3)(x+3)(x + 1)(x - 3)(x + 3). True or False: When rewriting the first cost model, 8x2−2x−3\frac{8}{x^2 - 2x - 3}, with this common denominator, the simplified numerator of the equivalent expression is 8x+248x + 24.
