A = l x w

so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that

w = l + 3

you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l

70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l

you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula 

0 = l^2 + 3l - 70

l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2

then you solve for the two seperate roots

l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7

or 

l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10

since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7

to solve for w you would use

w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10 

hope this helps! if you did not understand a step or concept please let me know!
