Question 564145: Hi Tutors: Can you help me with this homework problem please. Thanks in advance.
Short Answer. The length of the side of a rectangular desk is given by 2x - 6y cm. The length of the front is given by 2x + 6y cm. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the top of the rectangular desk?

2x - 6y cm. W
2x + 6y cm. L
Area = L*W
Area = (2x-6y)(2x+6y)
Area = (2x)^2-(6y)^2
Area = 4x^2-36y^2 cm^2
