The bench table has a certain cost "x"
The garden table costs $41 more than the bench, you can symbolize its cost as "x+41"
Together, both cost $741, you can express the total cost as follows:
[tex]x+(x+41)=741[/tex]From this expression, you can determine the value of x, first, erase the parentheses and simplify the like terms:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+x+41=741 \\ 2x+41=741 \end{gathered}[/tex]Second, pass 41 to the right side of the equation by applying the opposite operation to both sides of it:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+41-41=741-41 \\ 2x=700 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 2 to determine the value of x:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2x}{2}=\frac{700}{2} \\ x=350 \end{gathered}[/tex]The bench table costs x= $350
And the garden tbale costs x+41= 350+41= $391
