Area Calculation for Modular Fabrication

A sheet metal fabricator is determining the surface area of a rectangular plate for a modular equipment housing. The plate has dimensions of (2x+7)(2x + 7) centimeters by (2x−7)(2x - 7) centimeters. Recalling the product of conjugates pattern, (a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2, what is the final simplified algebraic expression for the area of this plate?
