The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2. So the answer is b(2a+b)

First set up the equation to find answer: y=7-x. Then add it to the variable. 3x-1(7-x)=1. So that makes it 3x+-7+-1=1. Add like terms -7+-1=-8, so 3x+-8=1. Now to find x just switch the 8 to the other side. So you end up with 3x=9 since when you take away a number from one side you need to use the opposite value so adding 8 to -8 will cancel it out, then add it to the other, then just divide. 9/3=3, from here just substitute to find y. y=7+3. y=10. The answer is x=2 and y=5. I hope I helped!
