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.
If you take the square root of a number squared number then they cancel each other out and the number stays the same i.e. √[(4)^2] would equal 4.
In this problem the square root and numbered squared cancel out to leave the problem as -2a.
The solution of this problem is -2a
The Perimeter of Triangle ABC would be 60.
You can solve this by setting up proportions.
