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

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 78. What is the integer closest to zero?

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the first integer.

Then the second integer will be (n + 1).

And the third will be (n + 2).

The sum is 78. Therefore:

$n+(n+1)+(n+2)+78$

Solve for n. Combine like terms:

$3n+3=78$

So:

$3n=75$

Therefore:

$n=25$

Therefore, the first integer is 25.

So our sequene is 25, 26, and 27.

The integer closest to zero will thus be 25.

Lapatulllka [165]

Ok so if 1200 total pens and 60 were taken that's a ratio of 1200/60=20

out of 60pens 4 didn't work, again ratio is 4/60=1/15 so about 1/15 of the pens didn't work.

so we have 1200pens * 1/15broken ratio = 80 pens or we can say

20*4=80pens won't work from 20 groups of 60 and 4 out of 60 not working is 20*4=80 not working from total batch of 1200.

hope this helps you some! thank you!!!!!!!!!
