Harry created a canvas painting on a square canvas. He then placed an order for a new rectangular canvas. The side length of the old square canvas is x inches. The new canvas he ordered has the same length, but a width 8 inches greater than that of the old canvas. The area of the new canvas is given by the quadratic expression below, where x represents the side length, in inches, of the old canvas.
