L=LENGTH
W=L-4
H=2(L-4)+3
V=10*(10+4)
V=10*14
V=140*(12+3)
V=140*15
V=2100 TOTAL VOLUME OF THE BOX.

write and expression for width in terms of L
Given: width is 4 less than the length
width = L - 4

write an expression for height in terms of L
Given: height is 3 more than twice the width
since width is equal to L-4
height = 3 + 2(L - 4)

find the volume of the box if L = 10
Known: Volume equals length times width times height
