True/False

In a technical math workshop, an instructor explains that simplifying 513+413+2135\sqrt{13} + 4\sqrt{13} + 2\sqrt{13} is conceptually identical to adding like variable terms such as 5x+4x+2x5x + 4x + 2x. True or False: In both cases, the final simplified result is obtained by adding the coefficients while keeping the common factor (the radical or the variable) unchanged.
