Question 574950
The height of a box is 5 inches. 
The length is three inches more than the width.
 Find the width if the volume is 90 cubic inches.
:
L * W * H = 90
(W+3) * W * 5 = 90
Divide both sides by 5
W(W+3) = 18
W^2 + 3W - 18 = 0
Factors to
(W+6)(W-3) = 0
The positive solution
W = 3 inches is the width

:
CHeck: (3+3) * 3 * 5 = 90
