Question

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x +14 items and 3x-7 ​items, respectively. The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second​ plant?

Answer 1

Answer:

The first plant produces 2x + 21 more items daily than the second​ plant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The daily production of the two plants are:

Plant 1: 5x + 14

Plant 2: 3x - 7

Compute the number of items first plant produces more than the second​ plant as follows:

$\text{Plant 1 - Plant 2}=5x+14-3x+7\\\\=2x+21$

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