The volume of a rectangular prism is v = LxWxH. We have the height, H = 17, L = 4+2W and w as is. Multiply them each

(4+2W)(W)(17) = 2720

34w2 + 68w = 2720

34w2+68w−2720=0

You want to solve for w. Divide the equation by 34 getting:

w2+2w−80=0

Then factor the equation, (w+10)(w-8)=0 w=8

Then the weight is 8 inches
