we know that
the volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

where
L is the length of the box
W is the width of the box
H is is the height of the box
in this problem we have




<u>Find the length of the box</u>
Using a graph tool-------> we will determine the roots of the equation of volume
see the attached figure
the roots are

so

therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the length of the box is equal to 
1. First consider the unknown original price as 'x'.
2. Then consider the rate of discount.
3. To find the actual discount, multiply the discount rate by the original amount 'x'.
4. To find the sale price, subtract the actual discount from the original amount 'x' and equate this to given sale price.
A = -11
B= -12
This is because of how calculations work in negatives. Because they are both negative they work similarly to addition
c = cost per pound of chocolate chips
w = cost per pound of walnuts.
