Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Height, h = 17

Let :

Width = x

Length = 2x + 4

Volume = 2720 in³

Volume of rectangular prism = Length * width * height

2720 = 17 * x * (2x + 4)

2720 = 34x² + 68x

34x² + 68x - 2720 = 0

x² + 2x - 80 = 0

x² + 10x - 8x - 80 = 0

x(x + 10) - 8(x + 10)

(x + 10) = 0 or (x - 8) = 0

X = - 10 or x = 8

Width can't be negative

Hence, width, x = 8
