    The dryer costs $350

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Make a system of equations

    w + d = 652

    w = d - 48

    Step 2: Plug in the know w into the first equation

    d - 48 + d = 652

    2d - 48 + 48 = 652 + 48

    2d / 2 = 700 / 2

    d = 350

    Answer: The dryer costs $350
