    Answer:

    The width is 10 inches.

    x(x + 3) = 70

    x² + 3x = 70

    Subtract 70 from both sides.

    x² + 3x – 70 = 0

    Factor the trinomial

    (x – 7)(x + 10) = 0

    Set each equal to zero.

    x = – 7, – 10

    Distance can’t be negative so x = 7 is the right one. Now we plug in for the length (x + 3)

    x + 3

    7 + 3

    10
