    Given:

    Tom's earnings: x

    Jan's earnings: 2x - 150

    Total earnings: 1380

    x + 2x - 150 = 1380

    3x = 1380 + 150

    3x = 1530

    3x/3 = 1530/3

    x = 510

    Tom's earnings: x = 510

    Jan's earnings: 2x - 150 = 2 (510) - 150 = 1,020 - 150 = 870

    total earnings: 1,380

    510 + 870 = 1,380

    1,380 = 1,380
