    Number of hours = (Total earnings + Total costs) / $15

    Mika worked 18 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mika's earnings function is:

    Total earnings = Total Payment-Total costs

    The total payment depends on the number of hours Mika took to pint the neighbor's fence:

    Total earnings = $15x-Total costs

    Now we transform this equation to know the number of hours worked:

    Total earnings+Total costs = $15x

    (Total earnings + Total costs) / $15=x

    x = $174+$96/$15

    x = 18

    Mika worked 18 hours
