If the perimeter of a square is 8X+6, what is its area?
----
Each side = (8x+6)/4 = 2x+1.5

Ans: Area = (2x+1.5)^2 = 4x^2 + 6x + 2.25 square units

Not too clear, but you might have for perimeter, p=8X%2B6=2%2A4X%2B2%2A3 and this could mean dimensions are system%28DIMENSIONS%2C4X%2Cand%2C3%29, in which case, the area is 4X%2A3=highlight%2812X%29.
