An appliance store sells a washer-dryer combination for $2650. if the washer cost $425 more than the dryer, find the cost of each appliance

dryer= 1112.5

washer= 1537.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so we will use algebra to solve this by equating the dryer to "x" and washer to "x + 425"

dryer = x

washer = x + x + 425 = 2650

we collect the like terms by adding x + x

2x + 425 = 2650

the 425 crosses the equal sign hence becoming minus

2x = 2650 - 425

2x = 2225

x=2225/2

x = 1112.5

if you rember we uquated the ddyer to x meaning the dryer = 1112.5

meaning the washer = 1112.5 + 425 because of (x + 425) = 1537.5

stop cheating
