Clemson University Packaging Science Department has asked its freshmen students to construct an open-topped box from a piece of cardboard 30 inches by 70 inches by cutting out squares of width x from the corners and folding up the flaps. Find the corners and folding up the flaps. Determine x so that the box has a volume of 6272 cubic inches.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
