He should change the coefficient 5
You need to work backwards
if it is no more than 9 units away from 8
thus x must be 8-9<x<8+9 solving -1<x<17
so the answer is 4.
First of all, you surely do have a lot of incorrect grammar in your statement. I can't understand a word that you are asking.
Length should be 2/5yd:
18inch*1yd/36inch=.5yd=> depth
volume= 2(length*width+lenght*depth+depth*width)
let l to be the length.
volume= 2(l*2+2(.5)+.5*2)
volume=5l+2
4=5l+2
2=5l
l=2/5
