Answer 1

To find out how much money Jacqueline will earn this week from her two jobs, we can substitute the given values for \( l \) and \( s \) into the expression \( 15l + 12s \).

Given:

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

Now, substitute these values into the equation:

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

Calculating each part:

1. Calculate \( 15(5) \): \[ 15 \times 5 = 75 \]

2. Calculate \( 12(7) \): \[ 12 \times 7 = 84 \]

Now add these two results together: \[ 75 + 84 = 159 \]

Therefore, Jacqueline will earn $159 this week.
