A garden table and a bench cost S846 combined. The garden table costs $54 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

The bench costs 450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t = cost of the table

b = cost of bench

t+b = 846

t = b-54

t+b = 846

Substituting t = b-54 into the above equation

b-54 + b = 846

Combine like terms

2b - 54 = 846

Add 54 to each side

2b-54+54 = 846 + 54

2b = 900

Divide by 2

2b/2 = 900/2

b = 450

The bench costs 450
