A manufacturing technician is simplifying the material efficiency formula y25yy246y64y2\frac{y^2 - 5y}{y^2 - 4} - \frac{6y - 6}{4 - y^2}. True or False: To find a common denominator, the technician must recognize that y24y^2 - 4 and 4y2{}4 - y^2 are algebraic opposites, meaning the second fraction can be transformed by multiplying its numerator and denominator by 1-1.
