Factor
x^(2) -3+2 then identify the side lengths of the rectangle Although it mab be counterintuitive or opposite of what you first think, label the lengths that a represented by a negative tile as -1 or -x. The write an equation

Explanation:

Based on the information given, it is hard to identify what the question is asking for as there is no connection made between the expression
x^(2) - 3 + 2 and the side lengths of the rectangle.

But as the question have asked to factor it, let me assume that the given expression is the area of the rectangle.


x^(2) - 3 + 2 can be simplified to
x^(2) - 1, which can be factored to:


(x+1)(x-1)

And therefore each side length are likely to be (x+1) and (x-1).

However, this is just a likely prediction made based on the information given, and without further explanation, the answer might be incorrect and it must be revised.

*Additionally, the form
x^(2) - 3 + 2 looks a little odd for me so just in case it was a typo and the actual expression was
x^(2) - 3x + 2, here is a factor for this expression as well.

(x-2)(x-1)

Hope this helped and feel free to leave a comment for any questions!
