--------------------------------------------------------------
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

Hello!

To solve this you can do 847 - 53 since one of the value is 53 less than the other

847 - 53 = 794

Then since there are 2 items you do 

794 / 2 = 397

You add 53 to 397

397 + 53 = 450

The cost of the dryer is 450

The cost of the washer is 397

We can check our work by making sure the two values add to 847

450 + 397 = 847

So the cost of the dryer is 450

Hope this helps!

Given rectangle QUAD, If DU = 5x - 4 and QP = 2x + 7, then find the length of DU.
ira [324]

Answer:

DU = 86

Step-by-step explanation:

Properties of a rectangle,

- Opposite sides are equal in measure.

- Diagonals of a rectangle are equal.

- Diagonals bisect each other.

In the given rectangle QUAD,

Diagonals AQ and DU bisect each other at P.

AQ = DU

2(QP) = DU [Since, AQ = 2(PQ)]

2(2x + 7) = 5x - 4

4x + 14 = 5x - 4

5x - 4x = 14 + 4

x = 18

Since, DU = 5x - 4

DU = 5(18) - 4

     = 90 - 4

     = 86

Therefore, measure of DU = 86 units

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

y = kx

Step-by-step explanation:

In proportional relationships, the value of one variable increases as the other increases or decreases as the other decreases. It is denoted mathematically as  y ∝ x where x and y are the variables. It follows that

y = kx where k is the proportionality constant.

So in the relationship where x represents the number of adults, and y represents the number of students,

y ∝ x and y = kx

y = kx is the required equation
