Air will move from area X to area Y.
Air generally moves from areas of higher temperature (and therefore lower pressure) to areas of lower temperature (and higher pressure) to equalize the temperature differences. In this case, area X (22ºC) is warmer than both area Y and area Z (18ºC each).
Air will move from area Z to area Y.
Both area Y and area Z have the same temperature, but air can still move due to other factors such as slight differences in pressure. In this case, moving from area Z to area Y is a valid option.
