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

Answer:

33) $8440

34) $67,964.62

Step-by-step explanation:

33) The interest on 1 for 270 days is ...

... I = Prt = 1×0.09×(270/360) = 0.0675

so the proceeds from a loan with a face value of 1 will be

... 1 - 0.0675 = 0.9325

We want to find the face value of a loan with proceeds of $7870.30, so we need to solve the equation ...

... $7870.30 = P×0.9325

... P = $7870.30/0.9325 = $8440

34) The discount is computed from ...

... I = Prt = 70,000×0.063×(24/52) ≈ 2035.38

Then the amount Smith will pay for the T-bill is ...

... $70,000 -2035.38 = $67,964.62

casey ran a 75 meter race in 10 seconds her distances at certain times during the race are shown in the table . what is the doma
Troyanec [42]
The domain of the graph is everything x is allowed to equal. Parentheses are used to show that x can be everything up to, but not including that number. Brackets are used to show x can be anything up to, and including, that number. The comma between the two numbers indicates that x can be anything between those two numbers.

Here, the time goes on the x axis and the distance will go on the y axis.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
<span>Distance: 0.0 5.5 12.0 20.0 28.5 36.0 44.0 56.5 64.0 75.0
</span>
Since we are dealing with the domain, we really only need to focus on the time.
Time: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

From this, we see that the values go from 0 to 10. This means that x can be anything from 0 to 10. Because there are y values that correlate with the numbers 0 and 10, we know that the domain will include 0 and 10. This indicates we must use brackets. 

Knowing all of this information, we can now write our domain as:
[0, 10]
