an aquarium holding african cichlids is 2 inches higher than it is wide. its length is 25 inches, and its volume is 9000 cubic inches. What are the height and width of the aquarium?
-------
Vol = L*W*H = 9000
L = 25
H = W + 2
-----
25*W*(W+2) = 9000
W*(W + 2) = 360
----
Find a pair of factors of 360 that differ by 2
