True/False

A resource analyst is comparing two operational efficiency models using the expression 3b2−4b−5−2b2−6b+5\frac{3}{b^2 - 4b - 5} - \frac{2}{b^2 - 6b + 5}. After determining the Least Common Denominator (LCD) is (b−5)(b+1)(b−1)(b - 5)(b + 1)(b - 1), the analyst determines that the second term, 2b2−6b+5\frac{2}{b^2 - 6b + 5}, must be rewritten by multiplying both its numerator and denominator by the factor (b+1)(b + 1).
