    A. We are given that the length of the box is equal to 24 as indicted in the "24-inch long". From the given, it is also stated that the width of the box is 7 inches less than the height. If the height of the box is x, the width is then x - 7. The equation that would let us solve the problem is,

    2880 = 24 (x) (x - 7)

    Simplifying,

    2880 = 24x² - 168x

    B. The value of x from the equation is 15. Thus, the answer is YES.
