Change of Variables & the Jacobian · Medium problem

A fabric is cut in two stages: first a stretch (u,v)↦(p,q)=(2u,3v)(u,v)\mapsto(p,q)=(2u,3v), then a shear (p,q)↦(x,y)=(p+q,p−q)(p,q)\mapsto(x,y)=(p+q,p-q). A swatch of area 44 in (u,v)(u,v)-space is cut out. Since Jacobians of composed maps multiply, find the area of the corresponding piece of fabric in (x,y)(x,y).
