Answer :
X = dryer
(X+79) = washer
X + (X+79) = $1029
Therefore, x+x+79= 1029 or 2x+79=1029
Solve for x
2x = 1029-79
2x = 950
2x/2 = 950/2
X= $475 The price of the dryer is $475
(X+79) = washer
X + (X+79) = $1029
Therefore, x+x+79= 1029 or 2x+79=1029
Solve for x
2x = 1029-79
2x = 950
2x/2 = 950/2
X= $475 The price of the dryer is $475
Solution :
According to the question, first we need to assume a variable for the dryer then we need to add $79 with the variable for getting the washer, after which doing their total we can get the value
Let's assume The Dryer be x
Now,
The washer is $79 more than that of the dryer
So, the washer be x + $79
Total cost $1029
Getting variable's value
- x + x + $79 = $1029
- 2x + $79 = $1029
- 2x = $1029 - $79
- 2x = $950
- x = $950/2
- x = $475
Now, Cost of dryer = x = $475
★ Therefore, the cost of Dryer is $475 ★
