Levy earns 2,600 per month.

Given:

total earnings = 4680

levy = 520 more than matt earns = x + 520

let x be the earnings of matt.

matt + levy = 4680

x + x + 520 = 4680

2x + 520 = 4680

2x = 4680 - 520

2x = 4160

2x/2 = 4160/2

x = 2,080 earnings of matt.

earnings of levy = x + 520 = 2080 + 520 = 2600

To check:

2,080 + 2,600 = 4,680

4,680 = 4,680
