Nice try but not quite correct! \n" ); document.write( "1) W+D = 841 This part is ok. \n" ); document.write( "2) W = D+91 \"The washer costs $91 more than the dryer\" \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the W of equation 2) into equation 1) and solve for D. \n" ); document.write( "(D+91)+D = 841 Simplify. \n" ); document.write( "2D+91 = 841 Subtract 91 from both sides. \n" ); document.write( "2D = 750 Finally, divide both sides by 2. \n" ); document.write( "D = $375 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
