Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
You can subtract normally when the square roots are the same( like in your problem) but the squares stay they same and the numbers on the outside change.
They give us the length of side of the square which is 3-7x.
To get an expression for the perimeter that is expressed as a product we have to multiply the expression 3-7x by four since every square has four sides. This will give us an expression of 4(3-7x). We than can use the distributive property to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 4. This will give us an expression of 12-28x.
