She swims 12 laps on Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total laps = 51 laps

Laps on Saturday = 15 laps

Let,

x be the number of laps on Monday, Wednesday and Friday each.

According to given statement;

Monday+Wednesday+Friday+Saturday = 51

$x+x+x+15=51\\3x=51-15\\3x=36$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{36}{3}\\x=12$

She swims 12 laps on Monday.
