To answer this question, we would have to use algebra.
Let the unknown number be A.
Now, as per the question, we have the equation ->
2A - 7 > 5 + A
==> 2A - A > 5+7
==> A > 12
So, the final answer is --> A > 12
This can also be written as A = s^2 and the area would be 49 with a side length of 7.
In order to find this, you can stick 7 into the area equation.
A = s^2
A = 7^2
A = 49
Check the picture below. Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm². Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it. Check the second picture below.
so, the volume will then be at
3/8x=6.
x=6*8/3.
x=2*8.
x=16.
