Answer:
Dryer cost $475; Washer cost $382
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will simply set up a system of equations to find the value of each the washer (variable x) and the dryer (variable y).
We are given the washer and dryer cost $857 together.
x + y = 857
We are also given that the washer cost $93 less than the dryer.
x = y - 93
So to find the cost of the dryer, we simply need to find the value of y.
x + y = 857
x = y - 93
( y - 93 ) + y = 857
2y - 93 = 857
2y = 950
y = 475
So now we have the value of the dry to be $475. We can check this by simply plugging in the value and see if it makes sense.
x + y = 857
x + 475 = 857
x = 382
And check this value:
x = y - 93
382 ?= 475 - 93
382 == 382
Therefore, we have found the values of both the washer and the dryer.

Using the problem, create an equation to find the number (x).
Three less than (so x minus 3) 6 times a number (6 times x) equals 39.
6x-3=39, solve for x.
x = 7
I guess you want to find the 4 numbers
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = -28
4x + 12 = - 28
4x = - 40
x = -10
so the numbers are -10, -8, -6 ,-4.
Answer:
The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...
Step-by-step explanation:
Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.
We know that
Speed = Distance/Time.
Or, Time = Distance/Speed.
So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.
And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.
= 100/x hr.
So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.
Have a great day :)
