The owner says that she will work 12 hours more than you if you get the job.

We know that she works 50 hours each week.

then, knowing that she works 50 hours per week and that she works 12 hours more than you, you have that, if H is the number of hours that you work per week, you have:

H + 12 = 50

Here says that the number of hours that you work, plus 12 hours, is equal to the number of hours that the owner works.

H = 50 - 12 = 38

This means that you would work 38 hours per week.
