a rectangular solid has a volume of 640 cubic inches. the width is 3 inches more than the height and the length is 1 inch more than 3 times the height. find the dimensions of the solid.
=================
Vol = L*W*H = 640
---
(3H+1)*(H+3)*H = 640
3H^3 + 10H^2 + 3H - 640 = 0
-----
If they are integers, one dimension is a multiple of 5.
--> H = 2
--> 7*5*2 = 70 NG
=================
H = 5
--> 16*8*5 = 640 works
