If joe collected 375 more than ann and ann collected 250 more than Henry, how much did Henry collect if together they made 2000?
Henry collected "x"
Ann collected "x+250".
Joe collected "x+250 + 375" = "x + 625"
----
Equation:
x + x + 250 + x + 625 = 2000
3x + 875 = 2000
3x = 1125
x = 375 (# Henry collected)
