Answer

$\color{blue}{\bf{A(x)=L(x)*W(x)=(x+3)(x-1)}}$

Work Step by Step

The area of a square with side length $x$ is modeled by the function: $A=x^2$ If $3$in is added to one side, the length, $L$ of the new rectangle is: $L(x)=x+3$ If $1$in is subtracted from one side, the width, $W$ of the new rectangle is: $W(x)=x-1$ The area, $A$ of the new rectangle is: $\color{blue}{\bf{A(x)=L(x)*W(x)=(x+3)(x-1)}}$
