If the top of the box has an area of $x^2 + cx + 4$ and the height is $x + a$, find the values of $a$, $b$ and $c$.
1. **Problem:** Find $a$, $b$, and $c$ such that $ax^2 + bx + c = (2x - 3)(3x + 4)$ for all $x$.
2. **Formula:** Expand the right side using distributive property.
3. **Work:**
$$(2x - 3)(3x + 4) = 2x \cdot 3x + 2x \cdot 4 - 3 \cdot 3x - 3 \cdot 4 = 6x^2 + 8x - 9x - 12 = 6x^2 - x - 12$$
4. **Match coefficients:**
$$a = 6, \quad b = -1, \quad c = -12$$
**Answer:** $a=6$, $b=-1$, $c=-12$.
