Question

A washer and a dryer cost $736 combined. The washer costs $36 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

Answer 1

`x=350`

Explanation

Based on the given conditions, formulate:
`36+2` ×
`x=736`

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation:
`2x=736-36`

Calculate the sum or difference:
`2x=700`

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable:
`x=700` ÷
`2`

Calculate the product or quotient:
`x=350`

get the result:
`x=350`

Answer:
`x=350`

Answer 2

700

Explanation:

736-36=700
