A garden table and a bench cost $742 combined. The garden table costs $42 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Let the cost of the bench ==B
The cost of the garden table ==B + 42
B + B + 42 ==742
2B + 42 == 742
2B == 742 - 42 ==700
B == 700 / 2 ==350 - cost of the bench
350 + 42 ==392 - cost of the garden table.
