    This is the concept of algebra, let the width be x

    height=x-4

    length=2x+10

    the volume of the box is:

    volume=length*width*height

    =x (x-4) (2x+10)

    expanding the above we get:

    (x^2-4x) (2x+10)

    =x^2 (2x+10) - 4x (2x+10)

    =2x^3+2x^2-40x=264

    solving the above we get real solution will be

    x=6

    thus we conclude that the width is x=6 inches

    length=2*6+10=22 inches

    height=x-4=6-4=2 inches

    thus the dimension will be:

    width=6 inches, length=22 inches, height=2 inches
