Reduce one side of the square by 30% and increase the other side by 2m to get a rectangle, which is equal to the original square area. How many meters is the square area

Reduce one side of the square by 30% and increase the other side by 2m to get a rectangle, which is equal to the original square area. How many meters is the square area

a*a=0.7a*(a+2)
a^2 - 0.7a^2 - 1.4a = 0
0.3a^2 - 1.4a = 0
A is not equal to 0
0.3a = 1.4
a=1.4/0.3
S=a*a = 21.78
