i don't know if this will help but i set it out like this:
Step-by-step explanation:
the breadth = x
the length = x+3

Answer:
Let the length of rectangle = x+3 cm
breadth of rectangle = x cm
Area of rectangle = (x+3)x cm²
New length of rectangle = x+3+9 = x+12 cm
New breadth of rectangle = x-5 cm
New area of rectangle = (x+12)(x-5) cm²
So,
(x+3)x = (x+12)(x-5)
x²+3x = x²-5x+12x-60
x²-x²+3x = 7x-60
3x-7x = -60
-4x = -60
x = -60 = 15
-4
Length = x+3 =15+3 =18 cm
Breadth = x =15 cm
