Find the width of rectangle prism if volume is 340, length is 17 and height is 5

OpenStudy (tylerd):

volume = width x height x length

OpenStudy (tylerd):

340 = 17 x 5 x W solve for W

i got 255 with that formula but that isn;t right

Right rectangular prism Solve for width w=4 l Length h Height V Volume h l w d l l h w h w Using the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 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
