A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x+14 items and 3x−7 ​items, respectively. The first plan
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3x+24 more widgets

Step-by-step explanation:

A company owns two manufacturing plants:

1st plant: 8x+17 widgets;2nd plant: 5x-7 widgets.

To find how many more items the first plant produces daily than the second plant, we have to subtract from the number of widgets the first plant produces the second plant produces. So,

(8x+17)-(5x-7)\\ \\=8x+17-5x+7\ [\text{Eliminate brackets}]\\ \\=(8x-5x)+(17+7)\ [\text{Combine the like terms}]\\ \\=3x+24

hope this helps!
