Answer 1

Answer:

$2x+21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of $5x+14$ items and $3x-7$ ​items, respectively.

Question asked:

The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second​ plant?

Solution:

Daily production of first manufacturing plant = $5x+14$ items

Daily production of second manufacturing plant = $3x-7$ items

First manufacturing plant produces more item than second

$=(5x+14)-(3x-7)\\ \\ =5x+14-3x+7\\ \\ =2x+21$

Thus, the first plant produces $2x+21$ more items daily than the second​ plant.
