To find out how much money Jacqueline will earn this week from both jobs, we can substitute the given values of \(l\) and \(s\) into the equation:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 15l + 12s \]
Given:
- \(l = 5\) (hours worked as a lab assistant)
- \(s = 7\) (hours worked as a cashier)
Now plug in the values:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 15(5) + 12(7) \]
Calculating each part:
\[ 15(5) = 75 \] \[ 12(7) = 84 \]
Now add these amounts together:
\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 75 + 84 = 159 \]
So, Jacqueline will earn $159 this week.
