Complete question :
A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of 5x + 11 items and 2x - 3 items, respectively, where x represents a minimum quantity. The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant?
Answer:
3x + 14
Explanation:
Given that:
Production level of plant 1 = 5x + 11
Production level of plant 2 = 2x - 3
The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second plant :
Plant 1 production - plant 2 production
(5x + 11) - (2x - 3)
Open the bracket :
5x + 11 - 2x + 3
5x - 2x + 11 + 3
3x + 14
Daily production of plant 1 exceeds that of plant 2 by 3x + 14
