Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of washer be ' x '

Let the cost of dryer be ' y '

According to Question,

x + y = 744 -----> equation (i)

x - y = 94 ------> equation (ii)

Adding equation (i) and (ii),

x + y = 744

+ x - y = 94

---------------------

2x = 838

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 838/2

Calculate

X = 419

Again,

Putting the value of X in equation (i)

X + y = 744

419 + y = 744

subtract 419 on both sides

y + 419 - 419 = 744 - 419

Calculate:

y = 325

The cost of dryer is $ 325.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer: 325$

Explanation:
Assume: A is the cost of washer
And B is the cost of dryer

A+B = 744
And: A = B + 94$
We get:

B + 94$ + B = 744
2B + 94 = 744
2B = 650
B = 325

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \ \ \dfrac{\sqrt{4025}-5}{2}=29.22144... \ \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello

<u>Let's note the original speed of the car v</u>

it means that in 1 hour he is going v miles

so to go 200 miles it takes ( in hour)

$\dfrac{200}{v}$

If the speed of the car is v+5 than to go 200 miles it takes (in hour)

$\dfrac{200}{v+5}$

and this time is one hour less so we can write

$\boxed{\sf \ \ \dfrac{200}{v+5}=\dfrac{200}{v}-1 \ \ }$

We can multiply by v(v+5) both parts of the equation so

$200v=200(v+5)-v(v+5)\\\\200v=200v+1000-v^2-5v\\\\v^2+5v-1000=0$

$\Delta=b^2-4ac=5^2+4*1000=4025\\\\ \text{There are potential solutions }\\\\\ \ \ \ \ x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{4025}}{2}\\\\\ \ \ \ \ x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{4025}}{2}$
