You can put this solution on YOUR website! W+D= 782 (equation 1)
W= D-68 <---Substitute W in equation 1 with this value:
D-68+D= 782 Add 68 to both sides and add D on left
2D= 850 Divide both sides by 2
D= 425 is the cost of the dryer, and the problem says that:
W= 425- 68
W= 357 is the cost of the washer
