Factoring to solve quadratic equations: Use the Zero-Product Property to solve each equation. Write your solution in roster form:

The volume of a storage tub shaped like a rectangular prism is 24 ft^3. The height of the tub is 3 feet. The width is w feet and the length is w+2ft. Use the formula V +lwh to find the value of w.

Please solve and explain. Thanks.

V = lwh

24 = 3w(w+2)

Multiply.

24 = 3w^2 + 6w

Put all terms on one side of the equation.

3w^2 + 6w -24 = 0

Factor.

(3w-12)(w+6) = 0

Solve for w and w+2.
