Answer:

x^2-11x+24

Explanation:

The area of a quad is lw

So, the formula would be (x-7)(x-4)

When you multiply it, it turns to be x^2 - 11x + 24

I think thats the answer

there are no choices so the answer might be in the wrong form

Answer:

Explanation:

both the length and the width of a square is the same measurement.

so if both measured to "x" then that means one side increase +7.

so one side is x + 7

and the other side decreased -4

so the other side is x - 4

area of square = length x width or just one of the sides to the power of 2

so (x+7) * (x-4) = Area

x^2 + 3x - 21 = area
