Big rectangle
3x-4 (2x+2) = 6x^2-8x+6x-8
=6x^2-2x-8 = 3x^2-x-4
Small rectangle
(X-3) (x-6) = x^2-3x-6x+18
=x^2-9x+18
Big-small= 2x^2+8x-22 is the area of the shaded region

the first step is to deal with the negative exponents, which causes numbers to go to the other side of the fraction
8x^{-9}+(-3x^{-3}y^{-2})(\frac{5}{x^6y^{-2}})
goes to

now we can simplify the multiplied terms

Now that we have common bases, we can add the 2 fractions together to get

Answer:
its 20
Step-by-step explanation:
PEMDAS.
Nathaniel is correct. fractions are rational numbers
