    The last term is 63 so 3 might be a zero of the function; -

    f (3) = 27 - 7*9 - 3*9 + 63 = 27 - 63 - 27 + 63 = 0 so 3 is a zero and

    therefore (x - 3) is a factor of the volume function.

    Long division of the expression by x - 3 gives the quotient:-

    x^2 + 4x - 21

    Factoring this:-

    = (x + 7) (x - 3)

    So the dimensions of the box are, x-3, x-3 and x+7 answer.
