    Answer: Tara earned $775 from her summer job.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the amount of money that Tara earned from her summer job.

    Lewis earned $1800 from his summer job at the grocery store. This is $250 more than twice what his friend Tara earned. The equation would be

    2x + 250 = 1800

    Subtracting 250 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes

    2x + 250 - 250 = 1800 - 250

    2x = 1550

    Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

    2x/2 = 1550/2

    x = 775
