    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let number of songs are played in a commercial be a

    number of songs are played in a movie be b

    Adrian earned a total of $1010 - > a*40 + b*130 = 1010 (1)

    14 commercials and movies - > a+b = 14 (2)

    (1) - (2) * 40 = a*40 + b*130 - a*40 - b*40 = 1010 - 14*40

    -> b*90 = 450

    -> b = 5

    -> a = 14-5 = 9
