Answer:

Wednesday, October 10

Explanation:

The least common multiple of 4, 7, and 6 is 4·7·3 = 84. This is a multiple of 7, so the day of the week will be Wednesday. There are 31 days in July and August, and 30 days in September, so the date will be 18 +84 -92 = 10 October.

All three will be at the court together on Wednesday, October 10.
