Find the volume of the solid whose base is the region between the functions given using cross-sections of rectangles perpendicular to the x axis with a height of x

Find the volume of the solid whose base is the region between the functions given using cross sections of rectangles perpendicular to the x-axis with a height of x.

y=3(x-3)²-4

y=6-x

Wondering if there might be a typo in the problem as presented, because the points of intersection of the two functions have x-values that are irrational, making the calculation of the volume quite tedious (without a calculator)? Here is a Desmos graph to give you the idea for finding a solution for the problem as given: desmos.com/calculator/uxdfu7w4zs

We're allowed to do some calculations on a calculator but not all of it

In that case, the graph on Desmos shows you how to proceed. Take a look and post a comment if you have questions.
