Target is 12% apple juice.

Let g = volume in gallons of pure apple juice to add.

Solve for g, which will be in GALLONS.

If you understand the equation given then you should have no trouble in solving for g. If you cannot understand how the equation shown works, then this needs then to be explained and understood first.

In any case, you might want g in fluid ounces instead of gallons.
128 FLUID OUNCES = 1 Gallon
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
