Question

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 7x+19 items and 5x−2 ​items, respectively. The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second​ plant?

Answer 1

The first plant manufactures 2x + 21 more items daily.

Explanation:

Given that:

Production level of plant one = 7x + 19

Production level of plant two = 5x -2

To find the number of items first plant manufactures more than second plant, we will find the difference between production levels.

Difference = (7x + 19) - (5x - 2)

Difference = 7x + 19 - 5x + 2

Difference = 2x + 21

Hence,

The first plant manufactures 2x + 21 more items daily.
