A washer and a dryer cost $944 combined. The water costs $94 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
Let
x -----> the cost of the washer
y -----> the cost of the dryer
we have that
x+y=944 -------> equation A
x=y+94 ------> equation B
Solve the system of equations
substitute equation B in equation A
(y+94)+y=944
solve for y
2y=944-94
2y=850
y=$425
therefore
The cost of the dryer is $425
