Answer:

12,000

Explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of panels produced by Plant A. Then the number produced by Plant B is (a+7000). The total number of defectives is ...

... 0.04a + 0.02(a+7000) = 860

... 0.06a + 140 = 860 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

... a = (860 -140)/0.06 = 12,000 . . . . solve for a

Plant A produced 12,000 panels yesterday.
