We know the following statements regarding the box:
<em>1. The box is rectangular</em>
<em>2. It's twice as long as it is wide</em>
<em>3. The height of the box is 3 feet less than the width </em>
<em>4. x: feet wide</em>
So we can apply a mathematical language to solve this problem. The volume of a rectangular box can be find by:
But we also know that:
And the box is twice as long as it is wide:
The height of the box is 3 feet less than the width is given by:
So combining these results:
<em>The right answer is B</em>
