<PRE><B>Question 1133400</B>
volume of a cube is edge^3 or x^3 for smaller cube
so (x+4)^3-x^3=316 cm^3.  Using binomial expansion, or one can foil out (x+4)^2*(x+3)
x^3+12x^2+48x+64-x^3=316cm^3
12x^2+48x-252=0
divide by 12
x^2+4x-21=0
(x+7)(x-3)=0
x=3 cm smaller cube side length
x+4=7 cm larger cube side length
volumes are 343 cm^2 and 27 cm^3 or 316 cm^3 difference.
