Math problem. I know the answer, but I don't know the steps to reach that answer.

Louis had 135 action figures, Sam had 990 action figures and Jane had 570 action figures. After Jane gave an equal number of action figures to both boys, Sam had 4 times as many action figures as Louis. How many action figures did Jane have left?

Jane gave away x figures to each of Louis and Sam
Sam + x = 4(Louis + x)
990 + x = 4(135 + x)
 
Can you solve for x and answer?
