I need help on this question please factorise into brackets then solve for x

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the length and width is 3 , then length = x - 3

area (A) of rectangle = length × width

A = x(x - 3) = 28 , distribute parenthesis

x² - 3x = 28 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

x² - 3x - 28 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 7)(x + 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7

x + 4 = 0 ⇒ x = - 4

However, x > 0 , then x = 7
