True/False

A financial analyst is evaluating the net profit difference between two quarters, modeled by the rational expression 4x211x+8x23x+23x2+x3x23x+2\frac{4x^2-11x+8}{x^2-3x+2} - \frac{3x^2+x-3}{x^2-3x+2}. According to the standard procedure for subtracting rational expressions, the analyst should write the combined numerator as 4x211x+83x2+x3{}4x^2-11x+8 - 3x^2+x-3 because the subtraction sign only applies to the first term of the second numerator.
