Answer:

A = 256 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the squares are identical, then the side lengths are identical

3x+7 = 5x+1

Subtract 3x from each side

3x+7-3x = 5x-3x+1

7 = 2x+1

Subtract 1

7-1 =2x+1-1

6 = 2x

Divide by 2

6/2 =2x/2

3 =x

The side length is 3x+7 = 3*3 +7 = 9+7 = 16

The area is

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = 16^2

A = 256 units^2

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 256}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All side lengths are equal

[tex]3x+7=5x+1[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]6=2x[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]

Each side length measures

[tex]5(3)+1=16[/tex]

Area of each square

[tex]A=s^2[/tex]

[tex]A=16^2=256[/tex]
