Question 806774
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The value of *[tex \Large x] certainly has to be larger than zero, otherwise you have no box, right?.  Then how big could it be so that cutting *[tex \Large x] by *[tex \Large x] out of all four corners would not use up all of the 25 inch side?  That's the least upper bound for your *[tex \Large x] dimension.
