True/False

A logistics manager setting up a supply chain model simplifies the cost equation 4+9(3x−7)=−42x−13+23(3x−2){}4 + 9(3x - 7) = -42x - 13 + 23(3x - 2) and arrives at the result −59=−59-59 = -59. Because this final numerical statement is always true, the manager should classify the original equation as a contradiction.
