s + g = 425
g = s + 25
-----------------
We will use the method of substitution:
s + s + 25 = 425
2 s = 425 - 25
2 s = 400
s = 400 : 2
s = $425
g = 200 + 25
g = $225
Answer: Seiji earned $200 and Gavin earned $225.

Seiji and Gavin both worked hard over the summer. Together, they earned a total of $425. Gavin earned $25 more than Seiji. How much did each of them earn?
