Area = length times width, A=LW


= (7+2x)(5+2x) = 4x^2 + 24x + 35 square inches


Area of the picture without the border is 7 by 5 = 35 square inches


Area of the border is 4x^2 +24x square inches

Draw a picture... If the border is "x" the width is "2x+5" and length is "2x+7" so the area is 4x^2 +24x + 35
