Answer:
Area = 8 square ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle = Length × width
suppose length = x
width  = y
Here it is given that  x = 3 y - 2
       width is given as y = 2 ft
      ∴ x = 3 × 2 -2
       x = 6 -2
       x = 4
 Area of rectangle = length × width
               A = 4 × 2
                 = 8 square ft
