For the answer to the question above, If you've noticed, the statement mentioned "a number". Let's assign x to be the number. The first statement is twice a number (2x). Then, decreased by the quotient of that number and 2 (-x/2). Lastly, the statement at least 12 is written as >12.
So the answer is
2x - (x/2) >12
We are asked to solve for the width "x" in the given problem. To visualize the problem, see attached drawing.
We have the area of the swimming pool such as:
Area SP = l x w
Area SP = 10 * 16
Area SP = 160 feet2
Area of the swimming pool plus the sidewalk with uniform width:
Area SP + SW = (10 + x) * (16 + x)
160 + 155 = 160 + 10x + 16x + x2
160 -160 + 155 = 26x + x2
155 = 26 x + x2
x2 + 26x -155= 0
Solving for x, we need to use quadratic formula and the answer is 5 feet.
The value of x is

Square units are the units of measuring area. Therefore, this question asks for the area of the room.
The room has the shape of a rectangle with:
length = 13 units and width = 9 units
The are of the rectangle can be calculated using the following rule:
area of rectangle = length * width
area of the room = 13 * 9 = 117 square units
