--------------------------------------------------------------
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!

When Hailey commutes to work, the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed with a mean of 21 minutes and a
miskamm [114]

Answer: 135 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of time it takes her to arrive is normally distributed, then according to the central limit theorem,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 21 minutes

σ = 3.5 minutes

the probability that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is expressed as

P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26)

For (19 ≤ x),

z = (19 - 21)/3.5 = - 0.57

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.28

For (x ≤ 26),

z = (26 - 21)/3.5 = 1.43

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.92

Therefore,

P(19 ≤ x ≤ 26) = 0.92 - 28 = 0.64

The number of times that her commute would be between 19 and 26 minutes is

0.64 × 211 = 135 days
