A washer and dryer cost $995.00 combined, the washer costs $95.00 more then the dryer, how much is the dryer?
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the dryer cost \"x\" dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Then the washer cost \"x+95\" dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dryer + washer cost = 995 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+95) = 995
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 900
\n" ); document.write( "x = $450 (dryer cost)
\n" ); document.write( "x+95 = $545 (washer cost)
