Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Height = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 27 inches
\n" ); document.write( " x*(x + 3)* 27 = 9180 inches^3
\n" ); document.write( " 27x(x + 3)= 9180
\n" ); document.write( " 27x^2 + 81x - 9180 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Divide throughout by 27
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 3x - 340 = 0
\n" ); document.write( " (x + 20)(x - 17) = 0
\n" ); document.write( " x = - 20 (no answer)
\n" ); document.write( " x = 17
\n" ); document.write( "So, Width = 17 inches
\n" ); document.write( " Height = 20 inches
\n" ); document.write( " Length = 27 inches.
\n" ); document.write( " 17 * 20 * 27 = 9180
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
