Algebra-2

Let's assume the volume of the large box is  cubic feet.

The volume of the medium box is  cubic feet (since it is 10 cubic feet less than the large box).

The volume of the small box is  cubic feet (as it is 6 cubic feet less than the medium box)

The sum of the volumes of the three boxes is

The product of the volumes of the three boxes is

We know that the product of the volumes of the three boxes is 8336 more than the sum of the volumes of the three boxes. So we have the equation:
