Now, let's do the same as we did for the previous one here.

notice again, how did we get 84 for the 4th element's coefficient? well 36 * 7 / 3. and so on. And you can just expand it from there.
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let her work "x" hours for paperwork
Since, patrolling amount of hours is THREE TIMES that,
Patrolling = 3x hours
Total Hours = 36
That is including paperhour work (x) and patrolling (3x). So we can setup an equation in x and solve for x first:
x + 3x = 36
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9 hours
Amount of Hours for Patarolling = 3x hours = 3(9) = 27 hours
So, she spends 27 hours patrolling
