Answer:

84x+50

Explanation:

First, you would find the area of the entire square. The area of a square is LW, so you would multiply (7x+6)(7x+6). For this, I would use the FOIL method, so you would multiply the first terms which would be (7x)(7x)=14x^2. Then the outside terms, so (7x)(6)=42x. Then the inside, so (7x)(6)=42x. Finally, the last terms, 6(6)=36.

Then you would combine them, so the area of the whole square is
14x^(2) +42x+42x+36 which would equal
14x^(2) +84x+36.

Then, the area of the smaller square is (x)(x) which would equal
x^(2).

Then you would subtract the smaller square from the bigger one, so the final answer would be
14+84x+36 which you could simplify to
84x+50
