I think the answer is the second one, Tessa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim 3 laps during the second class. The question is confusing, because the equation s+3 is supposed to be the DISTANCE she swam in 2 classes. The problem didn't specify that distance equals laps, but I think the answer is correct
