Answer 1

`2x+21`

Explanation:

Given:

A company has two manufacturing plants with daily production levels of
`5x+14` items and
`3x-7` ​items, respectively.

Question asked:

The first plant produces how many more items daily than the second​ plant?

Solution:

Daily production of first manufacturing plant =
`5x+14` items

Daily production of second manufacturing plant =
`3x-7` items

First manufacturing plant produces more item than second

`=(5x+14)-(3x-7)\\ \\ =5x+14-3x+7\\ \\ =2x+21`

Thus, the first plant produces
`2x+21` more items daily than the second​ plant.
