Question 1175545: The Volume V of a container is 61^3 in. The width, the length, and the height are x, x-2, x+3 respectively. What are the container's dimensions?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The product of the dimensions is x(x^2+x-6) or x^3+x^2-6x=61
so x^+x^2-6x-61=0
x has to be at least 3
x=4.098
dimensions in in. are 4.098, 2.098, 7.098=61.02 in^3
