    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can turn this into an equation.

    Let's denote the amount of money James makes as X.

    Then Lin makes X + 3100.

    Together they make 81960.

    So combine their earning expressions.

    X + X + 3100 = 81960

    Solve for X

    X = 39430

    So James makes $39430 since his earnings are demoted by x.

    Lin then makes 3100 + 39430, which is $42530.
