x = number
the equation to use is: 3x+4=28
3x+4=28
3x=24
x-24/3 =8
x=8
100% - 81% = 19%

The area of a rectangle is length*width.
The length of this 3x and the width is 2x-3. This means that, to find the area, you need to multiply 3x and 2x-3.
Start by writing out this equation:
A=l*w
Then, plug in your given values:
A= 3x*2x-3 (you can also write it as A= 3*x*2*x-3)
Then, following the order of operations, you start by multiplying. This makes your equation become A = 6x^2 -3. (^2 means squared). It turns into this because 3 * 2 is 6 and x * x is x^2 and you still haven’t used the 3 yet.
After this, there is nothing more that you can do to simplify the equation. Therefore, the area is 6x^2 - 3.
I hope this helped!
