Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the cuboid = ((2x + 5) cm
Width of the cuboid = (3 - x) cm
Height of the cuboid = (2x + 5) cm
Since, volume of the cuboid = Length × Width × Height
= (2x + 5)(3 - x)(x + 1)
= [2x(3 - x) + 5(3 - x)](x + 1)
= (6x - 2x² + 15 - 5x)(x + 1)
= (-2x² + x + 15)(x + 1)
= x(-2x² + x + 15) + 1(-2x² + x + 15)
= -2x³ + x² + 15x - 2x² + x + 15
= -2x³ - x² + 16x + 15
≈ 15 + 16x - x² - 2x³
