Measure 1 would be 59 degrees (180-121)
Measure 2 would be 121 degrees (vertical angle theorem)
Since it's an estimate, probably 103<span />

Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let the dryer be x.
Dryer = x
Washer = x -53
--------------------------------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------
The washer and the dryer cost $847
⇒ x + x - 53 = 847
--------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
x + x - 53 = 847
2x - 53 = 847
2x = 847 + 53
2x = 900
x = 450
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of dryer and washer :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dryer = x = $450
Washer = x = 450 - 53 = 397
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Dryer = $450
--------------------------------------------------------------
