Let's assume the cost of the dryer is x.
Therefore, the cost of the washer would be x - 97.
The combined cost of the washer and dryer is x + x - 97 = 753.
Combining like terms, we get 2x - 97 = 753.
Adding 97 to both sides, we get 2x = 850.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = <<425=425>>425.
Therefore, the cost of the dryer is $425.
A washer and a dryer cost 753 combined. The washer costs 97 less than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?
