Answer: 7 and 17

Explanation:

Since the area of a rectangle is the product of the two sides, the product of these two numbers must be 119.

The factors pairs of 119 are 1 and 119, and 7 and 17.

x+7 and x-3 have a difference of 10. The difference of 7 and 17 is also 10. Hope this helped!

In the future, please take a less blurry photo because I had to guess the part where I think it said x-3.
