First state your variables:
a = Andile
Everything is related to Andile and therefore we do not need to make this equation more difficult by adding in more variables.
a + (a - 40) + 2(a - 40) = 380
Expand brackets and simplify:
2a - 40 + 2a - 80 = 380
4a - 120 = 380
4a = 500
Then solve for 'a' by dividing by both sides:
a = $125
Now we know Andile's pay we can find Taylor's quite easily:
t = a - 40
t = 125 - 40
t = $85
Taylor earned $85.
Please mark as brainliest :)
Hope this helps :)))
