Answer:

[tex]{x=22};{x+3=25}\\{22}\times{25}=550[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the equation:

[tex](x)(x+3)=550[/tex]

Then, simplify:

[tex]x^2+3x=550[/tex]

Next, subtract 550 from both sides:

[tex]x^2+3x-550=0[/tex]

Factor the left side of the equation:

[tex](x-22)(x+25)=0[/tex]

Finally, set the factors equal to 0 and solve for x:

[tex]\begin{array}{ll}{x-22=0}&{x+25=0}\\{x=22}&{x={-25}}\end{array}[/tex]
