Answer 1

The cost of Dryer = $325

Explanation:

Given as,

The cost of washer + the cost of Dryer = $717

And the cost of washer = $67 + cost of Dryer

Let the cost of Dryer = x

So, the cost of washer = $67 + x

Or,. $67 + x + x = $717

Or, 2x = $650

Or, x =
`(650)/(2)` = $325

And the cost of washer = $67 + $325 = $392

Hence , the cost of Dryer = $325 Answer .
