Answer:

475

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the dryer price is x

Then, the price for the washer is 53 more than the dryer, it would be: x+53

Total price of washer and dryer = 1003

We get the equation:

x+(x+53) = 1003

2x + 53 = 1003

2x + 53 - 53 = 1003 - 53

2x = 950

x = 475

The dryer price is 475

Extra: you can find the cost of the washer by using x+53 = 475+53 = 528

Solve the equation: k^2+5k+13=0

mr_godi [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

k² + 5k + 13 = 0

Using the quadratic formula which is

$x = \frac{ - b \pm \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \\$

From the question

a = 1 , b = 5 , c = 13

So we have

$k = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ {5}^{2} - 4(1)(13) } }{2(1)} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 52} }{2} \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm \sqrt{ - 27} }{2} \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ = \frac{ - 5 \pm3 \sqrt{3} \: i}{2} \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Separate the solutions

$k_1 = \frac{ - 5 + 3 \sqrt{3} \: i }{2} \: \: \: \: or \\ k_2 = \frac{ - 5 - 3 \sqrt{3} \: i}{2}$

The equation has complex roots

Separate the real and imaginary parts

We have the final answer as

$k_1 = - \frac{5}{2} + \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} \: i \: \: \: \: or \\ k_2 = - \frac{5}{2} - \frac{3 \sqrt{3} }{2} \: i$
