    Kendall and Sophia swam (2n - 12) laps together

    Solution:

    Given that, Kendall Swam (n) laps in the pool

    To find: Number of laps swam together

    From given statement,

    Number of laps by Kendall = n

    Also, Sophia swam 12 less than Kendall

    Therefore, number of laps swam by Sophia is 12 less than the number of laps by Kendall

    Number of laps by Sophia = Number of laps by Kendall - 12

    Number of laps by Sophia = n - 12

    How many laps did they swim altogether?

    Number of laps swam together = Number of laps by Kendall + Number of laps by Sophia

    Number of laps swam together = n + n - 12 = 2n - 12

    Thus they swam (2n - 12) laps together
