x for height
\n" ); document.write( "y for width
\n" ); document.write( "z for length\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=4y, and z=5+y, then volume formula for your box is \"xyz=%284y%29%2Ay%2A%28y%2B5%29=4y%5E3%2B20y%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given the volume:
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y%5E3%2B20y%5E2=125\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%284y%5E3%2B20y%5E2-125=0%29\"
