Answer: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Graph the line y = -2x + 1 (which is in y = mx + b format) by plotting the y-intercept (b = 1) on the y-axis and then using the slope (m = -2) to plot the second point by going down 2 and right 1 unit from the first point:
y - intercept = (0, 1) 2nd point = ( -1, 1).
Graph the parabola y = x² - 2x - 3 by first plotting the vertex and then plotting the y-intercept (or some other point):
vertex = (1, -4) 2nd point (y-intercept) = (0, -3)
<em>see attached</em> - the graphs intersect at two points: (-2, 5) and (2, -3)
The volume of a box like this is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. We are told that the length is 8 more inches than the width, so the width is w and the length is w + 8. If we cut away 3 square inches from each corner, the height when we fold up those corners is going to be 3. The volume is given as 27, so our formula looks like this: 
. When we do that multiplication, we have 
. We need to solve for w so we can then solve for h. Move the 27 over and set the quadratic equal to 0. 
. We can then factor out a 3 to make the job easier: 
. Now we can factor to solve for w. The 2 numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to -9 are 9 and -1. So (w+9) = 0, (w-1) = 0, or 3 = 0. Of course 3 doesn't equal 0, so that's out. w + 9 = 0 so w = -9. w - 1 = 0 so w = 1. There are 2 things in math that can never EVER be negative and those are time and distance/length. So -9 is out. That means that w = 1. But don't forget that there was 6 inches cut off each side, so the width is 1 + 3 + 3 which is 7. The length is w + 8 which means that the length is 7 + 8 or 15. Those are the dimensions of the rectangle before it was cut.
