Answer:
Option 1: x - 36 24
Step-by-step explanation:
If Ms. Estrada wants to keep at least 24 cookies, a greater than or equal to sign needs to be used in the inequality.
Option 2 is incorrect because it sets the number of cookies equal to 24.
This is wrong because Ms. Estrada wants at least 24 cookies, not just 24.
So, option 1 is correct.
We first recall the formula for the volume of a rectangular box:
where l is its length, w is the width, and h is the height.
According to the problem, the height is 3 inches less than the width therefore we can replace h with the term
. Additionally, the length of the box is 2 inches more than twice the width therefore the length can also be replaced with 
.
We can notice that the equation will just have one unknown variable because we already know the volume of the box. We can then solve for this variable (w):
Solving the cubic equation we'll get
and two complex number solutions. We'll just need to solve for the length and height using the value of the width:
ANSWER: The width of the box is 10 inches; its length is 22 inches, and its height is 7 inches.
