A box is 720 cubic centimeters.
\n" ); document.write( " The height of the box is five centimeters and width is w centimeters.
\n" ); document.write( " If the length of the box is four times the width,
\n" ); document.write( " what will be the width in centimeters of the box?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The volume equation
\n" ); document.write( "L * W * H = 750
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "L * W * 5 = 750

\n" ); document.write( "L = 4W
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with 4W
\n" ); document.write( "W*4W = 150
