    Hello!

    *I'm not very good at algebra, so I am not 100% sure this is correct!*

    w = cost of washer

    d = cost of dryer

    w + d = $586

    w = d - 64

    d - 64 + d = 586

    2d = 586 + 64

    2d = 650

    d = 650 / 2 = 325

    586 - 325 = 261

    Check 325 - 261 = 64

    So, the dryer costs $325 and because the washer is $64 less than the dryer, it costs $261.
