    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
