Hi there,

\n" ); document.write( "Cost of washer is 2'x'
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2x = $1173
\n" ); document.write( "3x = $1173
\n" ); document.write( "x = $1173/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = $391
\n" ); document.write( "Dryer costs $391
\n" ); document.write( "Washer costs $782
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
