Answer: 54x^2+360x+600

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

One square face has an area of

(length)*(width) = (3x+10)(3x+10) = 9x^2+30x+30x+100 = 9x^2+60x+100

after using the FOIL rule

Multiply that by 6 to get the total area of all 6 faces

6*(9x^2+60x+100) = 54x^2+360x+600

The surface area units are in square feet.
