True/False

A retail manager is comparing the monthly operational costs of two stores using the inequality 10x+500<15x+200{}10x + 500 < 15x + 200, where xx represents the number of daily customers. True or False: By collecting the variable terms on the side with the largest coefficient (the right side), the manager ensures the variable's coefficient remains positive, which eliminates the need to reverse the inequality sign in the final step of isolation.
