Linear functions have the general form y=mx+b, where m is the slope. The first function has a slope of 2, while the second one has a slope of -1, so y=2x+1 has a greater slope.
The box has volume
11 in × 3 in × <em>x</em> in = 33<em>x</em> in³
and surface area
2 (11 in × 3 in + 11 in × <em>x</em> in + 3 in × <em>x</em> in) = (66 + 28<em>x</em>) in²
The volume and area have the same value if
33<em>x</em> = 66 + 28<em>x</em>
Solve this equation for <em>x</em> :
33<em>x</em> - 28<em>x</em> = 66
5<em>x</em> = 66
<em>x</em> = 66/5 = 13.2
Try 135. I’m not foresee!
