\"Volume+=+x%28x%2B3%29%5E2+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E3+%2B+6x%5E2+%2B+9x+-16+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28x-1%29%28x%5E2%2B7x%2B16%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-1=0+\" or \"x%5E2%2B7x%2B16+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The quadratic equation has no real solution because \"b%5E2-4ac+=+7%5E2-4%281%29%2816%29=-15%3C0\"
\n" ); document.write( "The linear equation x-1=0 has solution x=1.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore length = x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4
\n" ); document.write( " width = x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4
\n" ); document.write( " and height = x = 1
