I think some numbers are missing from your problem. Could you give the amounts (how many laps before the break, how many more after, and how many laps he subtracted)?
If you meant it symbolically, let:
- a = laps before break
- b = laps after break
- c = laps he accidentally subtracted
He actually swam a + b laps. (If you only have the recorded total after the subtraction, then actual = recorded + c.)
