A washer and a dryer cost 753 combined. The washer costs 97 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
Let's assume the cost of the dryer is x.
Therefore, the cost of the washer would be x - 97.
The combined cost of the washer and dryer is x + x - 97 = 753.
Combining like terms, we get 2x - 97 = 753.
Adding 97 to both sides, we get 2x = 850.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = <<425=425>>425.
Therefore, the cost of the dryer is $425.
