Answer:
the dryer costs $425
Step-by-step explanation:
x = washer
y = dryer
x + y = 803
x = y - 47
using the second equation a substitute in the first equation we get
y - 47 + y = 803
2y = 850
y = $425
FYI
x = y - 47 = 425 - 47 = $378
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars
w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds
In this problem we have a proportional relationship
Remember that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form 
 or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
In this problem
The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate
Find out the unit rate
Divide the total cost by the total weight

substitute in the equation
 
        
             
        
        
        
The answer is 13 hope this helps
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Set them up like this example:
4             8
_     =      _
6            12
cross multiply by multiplying 4 by 12 and 6 by 8.
If they are equal then it is proportional.
