Answer:
<em>Let the dryer cost x.</em>
<em>Then, the washer costs (x+87)</em>
<em> </em>
<em>Together, they cost (x) + (x+87) = 787</em>
<em> 2x+87 = 787</em>
<em> 2x = 700 [subtract 97 from both sides]</em>
<em> x = 350 [divide both sides by 2]</em>
<em> </em>
<em>The dryer cost $350.</em>
<em> </em>
<em>Check: The washer cost $437. Together, they cost $787 [good to check, right?]</em>
<em></em>

In this type of calculations, we decompose 13 by checking the lowest powers of the base, that is 40. for example we check 40^2, or 40^3 and compare it to 85
Notice
40*40*40=64,000
so we check how many time does 85 fit into 64,000:
64,000/85=752.94
85*753=64,005; 64000-64,005=-5
this means that

thus

Answer: 10 (mod85)
Remark, the set of all solutions is:
{......-75, 10, 95, .....}, that is 85k +10

M=-1/2 because you do y1-y2 over x1-x2 and end up with 2/-4 but simplified is -1/2
the x and y values makes both equations true
Explanation
a linear system is the set of 2 linear equations.
Step 1
the solution to a linear system is the coordiante where the line intersect, this coordiante satisfies both equations, then
the x and y values makes both equations true
