First we expand the brackets:

-2a + 8 + 6a = 36
4a + 8 = 36

We then need to get the a's onto one side and the numbers onto the other:

4a = 28

We can then divide to get an x by itself:

a = 28/4 = 7

1. To find the length of the edge, you will divide the total distance of 36 cm between the 4 edges that are shown.

36/4 = 9 cm per edge.

2. To find the surface area, find the area of one square (9 cm x 9 cm = 81 square cm), and multiply it by 6.

81 square cm x 6 = 486 square cm

486 square cm is the surface area.
