8,454 PointsOkay, so what mixins do is essentially (when compiling) replaces the @include ____ with the code you placed in the mixin, and replaces the variables with the arguments passed in, in other words, mixins don't set the variables, so you can get rid of the properties below @include, or in other words, you should have this:
@mixin square ($size, $color: black) {
height: $size;
width: $size;
border: 1px solid $color;
}
.box {
@include square(50px, red);
}
Oh and you don't have to specify the variable names unless you are placing them in another order than they appear in the parentheses next to the mixins.
Hope this helps!

25,713 PointsCan you explain what exactly you're having problems with? The way you would use this mixin is the following:
.box { @include square(50px, red); }
