You need to have variables one one side and constants on the other. ax - ax + by = c - ax
by = c - ax
by/b = (c - ax)/b
y = (c - ax)/b
The fractions you're given can be simplified down, so you get (12 ÷ 3) 4 hours on Monday, (21 ÷ 3) 7 hours on Tuesday, and (22 ÷ 3) 7 1/3 hours on Wednesday. You can now add these up and get your answer as 18 1/3 hours, or 18.33.
I hope this helps!
