Explaine the process... please
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band generated top revenue on the concert circuit in 2003. Springsteen and second-place Celine Dion together took in $196.4 million from ticket sales. If Celine Dion took in $35.4 million less than Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, how much revenue did each generate?

s = Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
c = Celine Dion
s + c = 196.4
s = c + 35.4
( c + 35.4 ) + c = 196.4
2c + 35.4 = 196.4
2c = 161.0
c = 80.5
s + ( 80.5 ) = 196.4
s = 115.9
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: $115.9 million
Celine Dion: $80.5 million

x = Celine's take (in millions)
x + 35.4 = Springsteen's take (in millions)
x + (x + 35.4) = 196.4
2x + 35.4 = 196.4
2x = 161
x = 80.5
Celine took in $80.5 million
Springsteen took in $115.9 million
