True/False

In a cold-weather operations scenario, an Anchorage logistics coordinator needs to find the temperature difference between a morning high of 15 degrees and an afternoon low of -30 degrees. To calculate this difference, the coordinator translates the scenario into the expression 15(30){}15 - (-30), which simplifies to 15+30{}15 + 30 because subtracting a negative number is equivalent to adding a positive one.
