Let washer be w
let dryer be d

w + d = 714
w = d + 64

(d + 64) + d = 714

2d + 64 = 714
2d + 64 (-64) = 714 (-64)
2d = 650
2d/2 = 650/2
d = 325

The dryer is 325 dollars

hope this helps

2 acres is 10/5 acres, so the remaining area is ...

10/5 -3/5 -1/5 -2/5 = (10 -3 -1 -2)/5 = 4/5

4/5 acre is allocated to horses.

y=\frac{x}{15}$
And yes, $15y=x$ is also correct, it's just switching around the 15
