To find how much money Jacqueline will earn at her two jobs, we can use the expression \(15l + 12s\).

Given:

  • \(l = 5\) (hours worked as a lab assistant)
  • \(s = 7\) (hours worked as a cashier)

Now, substitute the values into the expression:

\[ 15l + 12s = 15(5) + 12(7) \]

Calculate each term:

\[ 15(5) = 75 \] \[ 12(7) = 84 \]

Now, add the two results together:

\[ 75 + 84 = 159 \]

Thus, Jacqueline will earn $159 this week.
