True/False

A warehouse manager uses the function f(x)=5x3f(x) = 5x - 3 to calculate the shipping cost for a package based on its weight xx. When deriving the inverse function to determine weight from cost, the manager first interchanges the variables to obtain the equation x=5y3x = 5y - 3. True or False: To continue isolating yy, the next correct algebraic step is to subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
