    The dryer cost 325

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let w = the cost of the washer

    d = cost of the dryer

    w+d = 701

    w = d+51

    Replace w in the first equation with d+51

    d+51 + d = 701

    Combine like terms

    2d+51 = 701

    Subtract 51 from each side

    2d+51-51 = 701 - 51

    2d = 650

    Divide by 2

    2d/2 = 650/2

    d = 325

    The dryer cost 325
