Let the height be (x +7) and the width be x:

height*width*length = volume

(x+7)*x*27 = 7020 cubic inches

Divide both sides by 27:

(x+7)*x = 260

x2+7x = 260

x2+7x-260 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation works out as:

x = -20 or x = 13 it must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative.

Therefore: height = 20 inches and width = 13 inches

Check: 20*13*27 = 7020 cubic inches
