Answer:

The cost of the dryer is $375.

Explanation:

We can call the washer "w", and the dryer "d".

w+d=815

w=d+65

Now we solve. We can substitute d+65 in for w.

(d+65)+d=815

2d+65=815

2d=750

d=375

w=d+65

Substitute 375 in for d.

w=375+65

w=440

We can check our work. 375+440=815.

Therefore, the dryer cost $375 (and the washer cost $440, but you don't need to know that for this question.)

Hope this helps! If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them :)
