True/False

A manufacturing technician uses the linear equation 6[4−2(7y−1)]=8(13−8y){}6[4 - 2(7y - 1)] = 8(13 - 8y) to calculate the tension required for a conveyor belt. True or False: According to the standard strategy for solving equations with nested grouping symbols, the first step in simplifying the left side of this equation is to distribute the multiplier −2{}-2 through the innermost parentheses (7y−1)(7y - 1).
