Let Y be Jenny's age
Y + 3 = (Y - 28 + 3)(Y - 30 + 3)
Y + 3 = (Y - 25)(Y - 27)
Y + 3 = Y^2 - 52Y + 675
0 = Y^2 - 53 + 672
0 = (Y - 32)(Y -21)
Y = 32 or 21 (rejected, Jenny is 28 years older than John..)

Therefore, Jenny is 32 years old now.

Let X be John's age.
After 3 years, (X+3)*(X-2+3)=X+28+3
X^2+4X+3=X+31
X^2+3X=28
X=4
So Jenny is 32 (4+28) now.
