    Let us assume that Isaac worked for X hours in a month.

    Then the amount of time Ruby worked in the month = (X + 6) hours

    The amount of time Svetlana worked in the month = [4 (X + 6) ] hours

    The total amount of time worked by Ruby, Isaac and Svetlana in the whole month = 126 hours

    Then the equation to find out the time worked by each othe individuals in the given question is

    X + (X + 6) + [ 4 (X + 6) ] = 126

    Then

    X + X + 6 + 4X + 24 = 126

    6X + 30 = 126

    6X = 126 - 30

    6X = 96

    X = 96/6

    = 16

    So Isaac has worked for a total time of 16 hours in this month.

    Amount of time Ruby worked in the month = (X + 6) hours

    = (16 + 6) hours

    = 22 hours

    Amount of time svetlana worked in this month = (4 * 22) hours

    = 88 hours.
