The area of the lot is 8x * 12x = 96x^2.
The area of the sports field is 2x * 4x = 8x^2.
Therefore, the area left over for bleachers is 96x^2 - 8x^2 = 88x^2.
A sports team is building a new stadium on a rectangular lot of land. If the lot measures
8x by 12x and the sports field will be 2x by 4x, how much of the lot will be left over to build bleachers on?
