You need two equations to do this. The first is 2x+78=728. The other is x+78=y. In both equations "x" is equal to the price of the dryer and "y" is equal to the price of the washer. We know that the washer costs 78 more than the dryer. The math goes like this. 2x + 78 = 728 (first equation) 2x + 78 - 78 = 728 - 78 (subtract 78 from both sides) 2x = 650 (new equation) 2x / 2 = 650 / 2 (divide both sides by 2) x = 325 (dryer costs 325) Now we have a value for "x" and can complete the second equation x + 78 = y (second equation) 325 + 78 = y (substitute known value for x) 403 = y (washer costs 403) Now we check to make sure that we did it correctly x + y = 728 (dryer + washer = 728) 325 + 403 = 728 (substitute known values for x and y) 728 = 728 (we did it correctly) The dryer costs 325 and the washer costs 403
One of the best deals is for the Haier Portable Washer and Dryer. Together they will cost between $300-$400. You can buy them at Wal Mart. I have owned this set, got on sale, and it has washed clothing very well!
I just purchased one at auction for $5.00. Now I need a manual for it.
Appliances are like furniture they loose their value very quickly. If the washer/dryer is in perfect condition and is not over 5 years old I would not pay any more than 1/5 the value it would cost to buy it new.
What it could realisitically sell for
