X + x + 1 = -249
2x = -250
x = -125
-125 + 1 = -124
The numbers are -125 and -124
I think it’s -6 but I would check with someone else too lol
The question is basically asking you to calculate the new volume of the box that is 12x 7.5 x 2.5inches and to see if it has a larger volume than 162.5 sqin.
If you calculate the volume you should get 225 square inches.
