Right rectangular prism
Solve for width
w=4
l	Length	

h	Height	

V	Volume

To solve: 
Volume is from multiplying length times width times height, so to find the answer use the equation 17 * 5 * x = 340 which is the same as 85x = 340 (the 85 is from multiplying 17 * 5). 
To solve, divide each side by 85, so the width (x) = 4

yep-I subtracted 85 from each side instead of dividing  thanks
