<PRE><B>Question 852226</B>
set W = width , H = height , L = length
H = W - 2
L = W - 3
Since Volume = L*W*H
 50 = L*W*H
Substitute W - 2 for H , W - 3 for L
 50 = (W - 3)(W)(W - 2)
 50 = (W^2 - 3W)(W - 2)
 50 = W^3 - 2W^2 - 3W^2 + 6W
 50 = W^3 - 5W^2 + 6W
add -50 to each side
 0 = W^3 - 5W^2 + 6W - 50
 W = 5.54 using www.wolframalpha.com solver
 H = 5.54 - 2 = 3.54
 L = 5.54 - 3 = 2.54
Testing our solution 5.54*3.54*2.54 = 49.81
