First you need an expression that equals the number of time taken by Lydia and Tom to complete and illustration. Lets make that time x for each student.

Tom's time is x.

Since we know that Lydia takes ten minutes more, her expression will be x+10 signifying the extra time.

We'll add both Tom's and Lydia's time to get the total ...
