A washer and dryer cost 1003 combined the washer cost 53 more than dryer what’s the cost of dryer

475

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the dryer price is x

Then, the price for the washer is 53 more than the dryer, it would be: x+53

Total price of washer and dryer = 1003

We get the equation:

x+(x+53) = 1003

2x + 53 = 1003

2x + 53 - 53 = 1003 - 53

2x = 950

x = 475

The dryer price is 475

Extra: you can find the cost of the washer by using x+53 = 475+53 = 528

step-by-step explanation:

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
