Answer 11

We did a problem like this yesterday, I'll start you off, and you finish it.


x = washer
y = dryer

x + y = 901
x = y - 57

Answer 12

Yeah cuz if you add 57 to one, you need to subtract 57 from the dryer so the washer is 57 more than the dryer so it equals 907

Answer 13

>.< shhh I'm tired.. I tried. xD

Answer 14

:)

Answer 15

So is it 396.5?

Answer 16

I think so >.>

Answer 17

(x+57)+y=907
x=washer
y=dryer

Answer 18

@iambatman? What do u think?

Answer 19

Idk, try doing it with what I gave you :)

Answer 20

I'm not going to show everything now, you have to put some effort.

Answer 21

I did, you divide 907 by 2, then if theres a 57 dollar difference, you have to add 57 to the washer a subtract 57 from the dryer, so youd get 396.5

Answer 22

It's pretty straight forward from what I gave, just a matter of substitution.

Answer 23

I'm just straight up confused now.

Answer 24

y - 57 + y =907
2y = 907 +57

2y = 964
y = 482, dryer will cost $482

Answer 25

But when you add the washer with a 57 dollar difference you get over 1000 dollars

Answer 26

482=washer
425=dryer

Answer 27

they equal 907
and the washer is $57 more than the dryer
