Awasher and a dryer cost $696 combined. the washer costs $46 more than the dryer. what is the cost of the dryer?

You're buying two items, we can represent them as X. First you set one of the X's to be the dryer, and since we know that the washer costs 46 more than the dryer, that can be represented as X + 46. The equation can be written as follows:

x + (x + 46) = 696

2x + 46 = 696

2x = 650

x = 325

Therefore, the dryer costs $325, and the washer costs $371

assuming you mean addition: addition and subtraction are reverse operations.
