Why not draw the graph of y=|x|? It has a v-shape, and the vertex is at (0,0).
The graph of f(x) = |x| - 3 looks exactly the same, EXCEPT that the whole graph of |x| is shifted 3 units downward. The smallest value that y can have is therefore -3.
Can you now figure out the range of f(x)?
Here is what I got:(maybe wrong) 12*8*3 = 288, which is how big the box is. Then, you remove 1.5 inches from the height and get 10.5*8*3, which is 252. Subtract 252 from 288 to get the answer, 36.
