Let x = your number.
(x - 17) * -7 = -35. Divide each side by -7.
(x - 17) = 5. Add 17 to each side.
x = 22.
Your number is 22
The original square has the area (8 in)^2 = 64 in^2.
If we mult. this area by 36, we get the area of a larger square 2304 in^2.
The new side length is sqrt(2304 in^2), or 48. In other words, the original square has side length 8 in, but the 'new' square has side length 48 in.
It should be A. not 100% sure since i haven’t done this in awhile but it makes the most sense lol
