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>

3x-13=2
move -13 to the other side
sign changes from -13 to +13
3x-13+13=2+13
3x=2+13
3x=15
divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself
3x/3=15/3
cross out 3 and 3, divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=15/3
x=5
answer:
x=5

First, conceptually understand what an inverse function is, it makes solving it very intuitive. An inverse function is simply a function which has points (y,x) for every point (x,y) of the parent function. So you are essentially taking all points of the parent function and switching the x and y coordinates for each. Those switched coordinates are produced by the "inverse function".
Mathematically then, finding the inverse function is a matter of solving for x and then switching the variable labels. In this case:
y=2x+1 subtract 1 from both sides
y-1=2x divide both sides by 2
(y-1)/2=x now just switch the labels for the variables...
y=(x-1)/2 so
f^-1(x)=(x-1)/2 is the inverse of f(x)=2x+1
80/400 as a decimal is 0.2
