Question

A company has two manufacturing plants. Daily production levels at plant A are 7x+15 items. Daily production levels at plant B are 2x−8 items. How many more items does plant A produce than plant B?

A) 5x+23
B) 5x−23
C) 9x+23
D) 9x−23

Answer 1

To find the difference in daily production levels between plant A and plant B, subtract the daily production level of plant B from the daily production level of plant A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference in daily production levels between plant A and plant B, we need to subtract the daily production level of plant B from the daily production level of plant A.

Plant A daily production: 7x + 15

Plant B daily production: 2x - 8

Difference in daily production: (7x + 15) - (2x - 8) = 5x + 23

Therefore, plant A produces 5x + 23 more items than plant B.
