True/False

A quality control technician is documenting the calibration process for a system governed by the equation 123b=660b2{}123b = -6 - 60b^2. After converting the equation to standard form and factoring out the greatest common factor, the technician reaches the step 3(20b2+41b+2)=0{}3(20b^2 + 41b + 2) = 0. According to the standard algebraic solution for this specific equation, is it true that the next step is to factor the expression into 3(20b+1)(b+2)=0{}3(20b + 1)(b + 2) = 0?
