True/False

A manufacturing technician uses the linear equation 6[42(7y1)]=8(138y){}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 (7y1)(7y - 1).
