Show all work. A gardener wants to create a rectangular garden with length of 8x - 4y ft. and width of 6x - 6y ft. What is an algebraic expression for the area of the garden? Be sure to multiply this out, express in simplest correct mathematical form, and include units.
---------------------------
8x-4y = 4(2x-y)
6x-6y = 6(x-y)
---------------------
Area = 24[2x^2-3xy+y^2
---
Area = (48x^2-72xy+24y^2) sq. ft.
