Total Plants in a Garden with Conditions

In a small garden, there are some flowers and some bushes. The total number of plants in the garden is 12. If there are 4 more flowers than bushes, how many flowers are there?

You can represent the number of bushes as b. Then, the number of flowers can be expressed as b + 4. Set up the equation to find the total number of plants:

$$ b + (b + 4) = 12 $$
