Answer:
3x + 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
Company owns two manufacting plants with the following daily production levels :
PLANT A:
8x + 17 widgets
PLANT B:
5x - 7 widgets
Where x = minimum quantity
How many more items does the first plant produce daily than the second plant?
Subtract the Plant B's production level from plant A
8x + 17 - (5x - 7)
8x + 17 - 5x + 7
Collecting like terms
8x - 5x + 17 + 7
3x + 24
Hence, the number of items the first plant produce daily than the second plant is :
3x + 24
