Answer 6

Ok this pretty easy first get your key

X = dryer

3x = washer

Then set it up

X + 3x = 1000

Add common variables

3x + x = 4x

4x = 1000

Then do the opposite of what 4x is doing and divide it on both sides

4x/4 = 1000/4

The (4x/4) cancels out and your left with (x = 1000/4)

Then simplify

1000/4 = 250

So x = 250

So the dryer is $250

Then get the washer and since x = 250 multiply it by the washer

3(250) = 750

So the dryer is 250 and the washer is 750
