A sports team is building a new stadium on a lot of land. The lot measures 8x by 12x and the field will be 3x by 6x. how much land will be left for the bleachers, restrooms, and other parts of the stadium?

So would I use the foil method or would I use the distributive. Or would I multiply the 8x and 6x for the area and 3x by the 6x then subtract the 3x and 6x from the product of 8x and 6x (48x^2).

just subtract the field from the total:

(8x)(12x) - (3x)(6x)
= 96x^2 - 18x^2
= 78x^2

so I was right I just needed to put 12 instead of 6 and I would have got it right. Thank you!!

They're right for 2018 people^
