True/False

A technician is documenting the total resistance in a circuit segment as 5+75{}5 + \sqrt{75} ohms. After simplifying the radical, the technician records the value as 5+53{}5 + 5\sqrt{3} ohms. It is mathematically correct for the technician to further simplify this result to 103{}10\sqrt{3} ohms by adding the integer and the radical coefficient together.
