Constructing a Box: A rectangular piece of cardboard, whose area is 216 square centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2-centimeter square from each corner and turning up the sides. See the figure. If the box is to have a volume of 224 cubic centimeters, what size cardboard should you start with?

In Problems 5–24, graph each equation of the system. Then solve the system to find the points of intersection.
