Answer:  width = 300

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Area (A) = Length (L) x width (w)

Given: A = 268,500

           L = 3w - 5

           w = w

268,500 = (3w - 5) x (w)

268,500 = 3w² - 5w

            0 = 3w² - 5w - 268,500

            0 = (3w + 895) (w - 300)

   0 = 3w + 895        0 = w - 300

  -985/3 = w             300 = w

Since width cannot be negative, disregard w = -985/3

So the only valid answer is: w = 300
