Answer:
$450
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the washer costs $51 more dollars than the dryer.
The washer costs x+51
The dryer costs x
So to simplify this we can do this equation:
2x+51=951
Substitute and simply the equation, and you should get this:
2x=900
x=450
Hope this helps! 🙂
$900
Step-by-step explanation:
if the washer and dryer combined equal 951 and the washer itself equals 51 then all you need to do is subtract to get the cost of the dryer alone.
