Question 626841: You are building a wooden sandbox for a local playground. You want tthe volume of the box to be 16 cubic feet. You want the height of the box to be x feet and the length of each side of the square base to be x + 3 feet.
Write an equation for the volume of the sandbox. v = l * w* h

or
The quadratic equation has no real solution because
The linear equation x-1=0 has solution x=1.
Therefore length = x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4
width = x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4
and height = x = 1
