Question

A garden table and a bench cost $781 combined. The garden table costs $69 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

$425

Explanation:

x = bench

x - 69 = garden table

x + (x - 69)=781

x + x - 69 =781

2x - 69 = 781

2x -69 +69 = 781 + 69

2x = 850

2x/2 = 850/2

x = 425

Bench = 425
