20 minutes = 1/3 of an hour
1/3 = 0.333
1/3 x 45mph = 15, so she drove 15 miles at 45mph
18-15 = 3
3 miles/ 20 mph = 0.15 hours
0.333+0.15 = 0.483 hours total
0.483 x 60 = 28.98 so approximately 29 minutes total driving time
7:15 + 29 minutes is 7:44 am she arrived at work

Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Let the dryer be x.
Dryer = x
Washer = x -53
--------------------------------------------------------------
Construct Equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------
The washer and the dryer cost $847
⇒ x + x - 53 = 847
--------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------
x + x - 53 = 847
2x - 53 = 847
2x = 847 + 53
2x = 900
x = 450
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find cost of dryer and washer :
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dryer = x = $450
Washer = x = 450 - 53 = 397
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Dryer = $450
