breadth= X

L= x+30

after you cut a square with 6in from the corners, the length becomes x+30-6 =x+24 and breadth becomes x-6.

The eqn for volume of box is Length x Breadth x height

it's given that LxBxH = 1050

here height is 6, because u are folding the edge where it's been cut off and that side becomes the height.

rewrite with the given information we get

(x+24)*(x-6)*6 = 1050

divide both sides with 6

(x+25)*(x-6) = 175

distribute the brackets we get,

x^2 -18x -144 =175

x^2 -18x-319 = 0

solve for x using quadratic formula.

we get x= 29, -11

since length cannot be negative x= 29

B= 29, L=59.
