If you want the height of the crate it's volume / base area = 48/16 = 3 feet.
BD = 2x-4
But it's also BE - CE + CD
BE is 3x-1
CE is 2x-3
CD is 2
so
BD = 3x-1 -(2x-3) +2
simplified
BD = 1x +4
since BD = BD (obviously), we can also say that the righthand sides of the two equation must be equal
2x -4 = 1x +4
let's solve for x and that put it into either of the 2 equations.
2x -4 = 1x +4
subtract 1x on both sides
x -4 = 4
add 4 on both sides
x = 8
substitute x for its value in 2x -4 = 1x +4
(this way we double check BD in two expressions at once. the equation should come out true, meaning same value for BD in each expression. both sides should be equal).
2*8 -4 = 1*8 +4
12 = 12
seems true
BD is safely 12
Answer: Steps 4 and 5
