    Monday : x

    tuesday : 3x

    wednesday : 3x - 20 = 40

    thursday: 20

    3x - 20 = 40

    3x = 40 + 20

    3x = 60

    x = 60/3

    x = 20

    monday : 20 minutes

    tuesday : 3x ... 3 (20) = 60 minutes

    wednesday : 40 minutes

    thursday: 20

    for a total of : 140 minutes <===
