Answer:

x = 7

Length = 4 inches , Width = 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>PART</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>:</em>

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

A = L × W

L = x - 3

W = x + 8

Therefore:

A = L × W

60 = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 8 )

( x - 3 ) ( x + 8 ) - 60 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 3x - 24 - 60 = 0

x^2 + 5x - 84 = 0

x^2 + 12x - 7x - 84 = 0

x ( x + 12 ) - 7 ( x + 12 ) = 0

( x + 12 ) ( x - 7 ) = 0

THEREFORE:

x = - 12 , x = 7

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<em>PART</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>:</em>

L = x - 3

L = ( - 12 ) - 3

L = - 15

OR

L = ( 7 ) - 3

L = 4

THEREFORE:

Length can not be a negative number. Hence, L can not equal to - 15.

L = 4 inches

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

W = x + 8

W = ( 7 ) + 8

THEREFORE:

W = 15 inches
