Hello!

*I'm not very good at algebra, so I am not 100% sure this is correct!*

w = cost of washer

d = cost of dryer

w + d = $586

w = d - 64

d - 64 + d = 586

2d = 586 + 64

2d = 650

d = 650 / 2 = 325

586 - 325 = 261

Check 325 - 261 = 64

So, the dryer costs $325 and because the washer is $64 less than the dryer, it costs $261.

need help. solve for y. try factoring first if not possible or difficult use quadratic formula. y²-6y+6=0

lbvjy [14]

$y^2-6y+6=0\\ \\a=1 , \ b=-6, \ c=6 \\ \\\Delta =b^2-4ac = (-6)^2 -4\cdot1\cdot6 = 36-24=12\\ \\\sqrt{\Delta }= \sqrt{12}=\sqrt{4\cdot 3}=2\sqrt{3} \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{6-2\sqrt{3}}{2 }=\frac{2( 3- \sqrt{3})}{2}= 3- \sqrt{3}$

$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a}=\frac{6+2\sqrt{3}}{2 }=\frac{2( 3+ \sqrt{3})}{2}= 3+ \sqrt{3}$
