True/False

An operations manager is comparing two production cost models represented by the polynomials (9b25b4)(9b^2 - 5b - 4) and (3b25b7)(3b^2 - 5b - 7). To calculate the difference between these models, the manager evaluates (9b25b4)(3b25b7)(9b^2 - 5b - 4) - (3b^2 - 5b - 7). True or False: In the first step of this calculation, distributing the subtraction sign across the second polynomial results in the terms 3b2+5b+7-3b^2 + 5b + 7.
