Find the Number of Benches in the Park

Math is like a puzzle, where we need to put together pieces to find the solution. In this problem, we have a park with some benches and picnic tables. There are 250 picnic tables and benches together in the park. If there are 75 more benches than picnic tables, how many benches are in the park?

To find the number of benches, let's define:

Let $$ x $$ be the number of picnic tables.

The number of benches can then be expressed as $$ x + 75 $$. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

$$ x + (x + 75) = 250 $$
