Transcript

00:03

Here's your Shmoop dujour, brought to you by slackers.

00:08

It's like if slacks and Dockers were to join forces and create the laziest pair of pants ever.

00:25

We've got Tess who's a real go-getter and Steven who's a bit of a slacker.

00:29

Together they work for 21 hours, but this problem wants us to know

00:32

that Tess put three more hours of work into this project than Steven did.

00:37

Maybe he had a good excuse, like his legs were broken.

00:40

All we have to do to solve this problem is set up a simple equation.

00:52

Having a single variable S makes life a lot easier.

01:14

Careful, because S is Steven's time. We need to tack on three more hours to get Tess' time.

01:24

Now the least Steven can do is give Tess a foot rub.
