a washer and dryer cost a total of 1188. the cost of the washer is two times the cost of the dryer. find the cost of each

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the cost of the dryer, then '2x' represents the cost of the washer:


1188 = x + 2x

x = 1188/3 = 396


2*396 = 792


the dryer cost $396, the washer cost $792
