Question

A washer and a dryer cost $614 combined. The washer costs $ 86 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

Answer 1

The answer is $350 dollars.

Answer 2

$350

Explanation:

Let's say that the dryer has price x. If this is the case, then the washer must have price x-86. We know that the two added together must be 614 dollars, so you can set up the following equation:

x+x-86=614

2x=700

x=350

Hope this helps!
