Question

A garden table and a bench coat $788 combined. The garden table cost $62 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let T represent table and B represent bench. The garden table costs $62 less than the bench. T = B - 62. plug T = B - 62 into T + B = 788. B - 61 + B = 788. This gives us 425. B = 425.
