Answer:

32+4x

Explanation:

First, sketch a square.

Next, write x on each side.

Now, put an 8+ next to the x since Kathy decided she needs a new pan 8 inches longer.

Finally, since there are four sides, you'll do the expression "(8+x)4."

And now, you can solve it more detailedly, 32+4x.

I hope this has helped you!
