Question 1009787: A washer and a dryer cost
$552 combined. The washer costs $98 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Call their costs w and d.
w + d = 552 and
w = d - 98
Now substitute and get
d - 98 + d = 552
2d - 98 = 552
2d = 650
d = $325
w = 325 - 98 = $227
