The GCF is based upon what integer divides evenly into two numbers; the LCM is based upon what integer two numbers share in a list of multiples. The GCF must be a prime number; the LCM must be a composite number.
The correct answer is: " 784 in² " .

{or; write as: " 784 sq. inches " .}.

When the side is doubled (in this case, 4 is doubled; 4 * 2 = 8} ; the area is increased by 2² times; that is, by 4 times; so, the area is:
(196 sq. in) * 4 = 784 sq inches .

X=-2 not 2.
EXPLANATION:
x-2y=12
-3x+y=-1
x-2y=12
2(-3x+y)=-1
x-2y=12
-6x+2y=-2
-5x=10
5x/-5=10/-5
x=-2
