given,

W=x(suppose)

D=x+74

Now

According to the question

W+D=924

x+x+24=924

2x=924-24

2x=850

x=850/2

x=425

Answer 2

$425

Explanation:

Let washer be w

Let dryer be d

If d =x then w=x +74

x+x+74=924

2x+74=924

2x=850

dividing both sides by 2

x=425 hence d which is the dryer is $425
