Math word problem what’s the solution

Step-by-step expl wHATS THE PROBLE? anation:

Total is $985

Washer is $35 more then the dryer.

That means that without the $35, they are equal, otherwise solution is impossible to solve.

985/2 = 492.5

They are each $492.5 with the exception that the washer is $35 extra.

So the dryer is $527 and .50 cents, or $527.5

250

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
