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>

<em><u>Hope this helps...</u></em>

Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

  D.  (x – 3)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want an equivalent to x^2 -6x = 8.

We can complete the square by adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation.

  x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 = 8 +(-6/2)^2

  (x -3)^2 = 17 . . . . simplify

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is
mamaluj [8]

Answer: The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-point questions.

Let y represent the number of 5-point questions.

The maths test consists of 24 questions. This means that

x + y = 24

Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 and the test is worth 100 points. This means that

3x + 5y = 100 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 24 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

- 3y + 5y = 100 - 72

2y = 28

y = 28/2 = 14

Substituting y = 14 into x = 24 - y , it becomes

x = 24 - 14 = 10

Solve: -4x-8x+17=23<br> check solution
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to combine like terms:

-12x+17=23

Simplify further:

-12x=6

Divide by -12 on both sides to get:

x = -\frac{1}{2}

To check  the solution, plug x back into the original equation and check if we get the correct answer:

-4(-\frac{1}{2})-8(-\frac{1}{2})+17=23

2+4+17= 23

23=23

Thus, it checks out and our answer is correct.

xenn [34]

The straight line is perpendicular to y = -3x + 4.

Therefore, the gradient of the straight line must be 3.

The equation of the straight line is y = 3x + 2.
