Solution: Given:
Janine worked for 15 hours last week.
To find: How many hours did she work at each job.
Total hour =15
8046x+18(15x)=184.14
8.47x+27018x=184.14
270184.14=18x8.47x
85.86=9.53x
x=85.869.53
x=9.009 hours
So, she worked 9.009 hours at sporting goods centre and the remaining hours (159.009) giving piano lessons.
Result: She worked 9.009 hours at sprting goods centre and 5.991 hours at piano lesson.

Answer:
she worked 9 hours at sporting goods store and 6 hours on piano lessons.
Step-by-step explanation:
total hours =15
8.47x+17(15x)=178.23
8.47x+22517x=178.23
225178.23=17x8.47x
76.77=8.53x
x=76.778.53
x=9
Therefore she worked 9 hours at sporting goods centre and the remaining hours (15-9) giving piano lessons.
