To model the situation described in the story, we know the following:
- The total number of participants in the seed-spitting contest is 65.
- The number of adults is given as 20.
- The number of kids is represented as \( k \).
The total number of participants can be expressed as the sum of the number of kids and adults. Therefore, we can write the equation:
\[
k + 20 = 65
\]
