Answer:

Dryer cost $475;  Washer cost $382

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will simply set up a system of equations to find the value of each the washer (variable x) and the dryer (variable y).

We are given the washer and dryer cost $857 together.

x + y = 857

We are also given that the washer cost $93 less than the dryer.

x = y - 93

So to find the cost of the dryer, we simply need to find the value of y.

x + y = 857

x = y - 93

( y - 93 ) + y = 857

2y - 93 = 857

2y = 950

y = 475

So now we have the value of the dry to be $475.  We can check this by simply plugging in the value and see if it makes sense.

x + y = 857

x + 475 = 857

x = 382

And check this value:

x = y - 93

382 ?= 475 - 93

382 == 382

Therefore, we have found the values of both the washer and the dryer.

Cheers.

First, we must convert the total miles into kilometers. If there are 1.609 kilometers in one mile, then 26.219 miles equals 42.3 kilometers. We then divide by the total minutes (128) to get the speed in kilometers per minute which should be 0.32 or 0.3 kilometers per minute.

How do you do elimination in systems of equations?
VMariaS [17]
Well, for solving system of equations, we can use either substitution where we plug one equation into the other, or elimination where we combine the equations.


- Using elimination, you would to eliminate one variable from both equations, so you automatically would get one equation with one variable!
