The cost to make Titanic exceeded the cost to make Water world by $25 million. The combined cost to make the two movies was $375 million. Find the cost of making each of these movies.
------------------
Let the Titanic cost be "x" million dollars:
Water World cost must be "x+25" million dollars:
----------------
EQUATION:
x + x+25 = 375
2x = 350
x = 175 million dollars (cost of Titanic)
x+25 = 200 million dollars (cost of Water World)
