She earns 9 points per library and 13 points per museum.

Step-by-step explanation

Lets assume, she earns
x point per library.

As she earns 4 more points per museum than per library, so the point earned per museum will be:
x+4

She earned total 179 points for building 11 museums and 4 libraries. So, the equation will be...


11(x+4)+4(x) =179\\ \\ 11x+44+4x=179\\ \\ 15x+44=179\\ \\ 15x=179-44=135\\ \\ x=(135)/(15)=9

So, she earns 9 points per library and earns (9+4)= 13 points per museum.
