Okay so we need to figure out the width of the swimming pool using the length, and we know the width is 10 ft shorter than twice the width. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to first do 35-10, and then divide it in half. That gives us 12.5. To check our work I'll do the problem 12.5+12.5+10=35.
The width of the swimming pool is 12.5 ft.
