Let washer be w
let dryer be d

w + d = 714
w = d + 64

(d + 64) + d = 714

2d + 64 = 714
2d + 64 (-64) = 714 (-64)
2d = 650
2d/2 = 650/2
d = 325

The dryer is 325 dollars

hope this helps

293 because 714/2 is 357 - 64 = 293

Whats the correct answer?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Actually the answer is "A"

this is a very strange way to present a problem...

this issue her is that $(x^{a}) ^{b} = x^{a*b}$

so you need 1/3 * 3 in the answer... none of them have 1/3 * 3

BUT !!!!! 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 is the same as 1/3 * 3 So "A" is the solution

The perimeter of Δ ABC is 450 ft. If AB= 9x, BC=41x and CA=40x, what is the area of the triangle?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$A = 4500 ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition:

The pre-meter P of a triangle ABC is equal to the sum of the length of its sides.

We know that:

$P = 450\ ft\\AB = 9x\\BC = 41x\\CA = 40x$

The perimeter is:

$P = AB + BC + CA\\P = 450 = 9x + 41x + 40x\\90x = 450\\x = 5$

Now we find the length of the sides:

$AB = 45\\BC = 205\\CA = 200$

Once the length of the sides is known, we use Heron's formula to calculate the area.

First I find the semiperimeter S.

$S = 0.5(45 + 205 +200)\\S = 225$

Then the Area is:

$A = \sqrt{s(s-AB)(s-BC)(s-CA)}\\\\A = \sqrt{225(225-45)(225-205)(225-200)}\\\\A = 4500\ ft^2$

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Both give - 6=5x

Step-by-step explanation:

First equation 2x-6=7x

When you solve it, it becomes :

2x-6=7x

Subtract 2x both sides

2x-2x-6=7x-2x=

-6=5x

2)5x-6=10

5x-5x-6=10x-5x

-6=5x
