True/False

As an industrial maintenance technician, you are simplifying a system tolerance formula: 4a2+6a+5−3a2+7a+10\frac{4}{a^2+6a+5} - \frac{3}{a^2+7a+10}. After rewriting the fractions with the Least Common Denominator, the combined numerator is expressed as 4(a+2)−3(a+1){}4(a+2) - 3(a+1). True or False: According to the standard procedure for subtracting rational expressions, the next step of distributing the constants and the negative sign results in the numerator expression 4a+8−3a−3{}4a + 8 - 3a - 3.
