Jack is mowing a lawn that has a shed.

Jack wants to know the area if the lawn he has to mow.

Here are the dimensions of the yard and the shed (see picture below)

Find a polynomial that describes the area of the lawn he has to mow (i.e. find the area of the yard minus the area of the shed.)

The polynomial in your final answer should only have two terms. This means you have to combine like terms and simplify.)
