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 1

To find how many more items the first plant produces daily than the second plant, we need to subtract the daily production levels of the two plants.

First plant: 5x + 11

Second plant: 2x - 3

Difference: (5x + 11) - (2x - 3)

= 5x + 11 - 2x + 3

= 3x + 14

Therefore, the first plant produces 3x + 14 more items daily than the second plant.
