I assume you meant to say that the length of the square is 7x+2. If so, then the area of the square is (7x + 2)2. Is "a" the area? If so, then
(7x + 2)2 = a,
which you can expand to standard form. There is not much more we can do for you here unless you provide more data or explain the question better.
