Answer:

dryer cost = $450

Explanation:

Given that:

washer + dryer = $841 ---- eq1

As washer costs $59 less than dryer So,

Dryer - $59 = washer

putting in eq1

Dryer + dryer - $59 = $841

2 dryers = $841 +$59

Dryer = $900/2

Dryer = $450

So the cost of washer will be:

washer = dryer - $59

Washer = $450 - $59

washer = $391

i hope it will help you!
