When it's folded up the height is x, the width is 70-2x and the length is 100-2x.  We multiply them together to get the volume.

[tex]V = x(70-2x)(110-2x)[/tex]

That's part a, what you have.  I'm not going to obsess about the units.

Part b, state which xs give a valid V

None of the factors should be negative.  So that means x is nonnegative.  I'm explicitly allowing the zero height, zero volume case as a case where the expression is valid.   We'll get one negative factor again when 70<2x or 35<x so the range that gives all non-negative factors is

[tex]0 \le x \le 35 \textrm{ cm} [/tex]

Part c, sketch the graph.  I'll pass that one to Wolfram Alpha.
