How to calculate the line integral and substitute $dx\,\ dy$ in a question on Green's theorem The question states that:
Verify Green's Theorem on the plane for $\oint_C (2x-y^3)dx-xydy$ where C is the boundary of the region enclosed by the circles $x^2+y^2=1$ and $x^2+y^2=9$.
My attempt: 


*

*While verifying the L.H.S. I divided the line integral into 2 parts for the 2 circles and substituted $x=r\cos \theta$ and $y=r\sin \theta$ where the limits for $r$ will be different for the 2 circles. I then put $dx=dr\cos \theta -r\sin \theta d\theta$ and $dy=dr\sin \theta +r\cos \theta d\theta$. The integral became very complex and after computing both of them and adding them, I got $60\pi +\frac{273}{12}$. But the correct answer should be just $60\pi$.

*For the R.H.S. I don't know what to substitute $dx\,\ dy$ with and hence cannot proceed.


On a circle the radius $r$ is a constant, so we have:
$$
x=r\cos \theta \quad \Rightarrow \quad dx=-r\sin \theta d\theta
$$
and
$$
y=r\sin \theta \quad \Rightarrow \quad dy=r \cos \theta d \theta
$$
(this is the mistake in your solution, I suppose).
So, for a circle of radius $r$ we have:
$$
\oint_C (2x-y^3)dx-xydy=
\oint_C\left[(2r\cos \theta-r^3\sin^3 \theta)(-r\sin \theta)-r^3\cos^2 \theta \sin \theta \right]d\theta=
$$
$$
=\oint_C\left[-2r^2\cos \theta\sin \theta+r^4\sin^4 \theta-r^3\cos^2 \theta \sin \theta \right]d\theta=
$$
$$
=\int_0^{2\pi}-r^2\sin 2\theta d\theta + \int_0^{2\pi}r^4\sin^4 \theta d \theta -\int_0^{2\pi} r^3\cos^2 \theta \sin \theta d\theta
$$
I suppose that you can integrate these functions and find the result $\frac{3}{4}r^4 \pi$, that, for $r=1$ is $\frac{3}{4} \pi$ and for $r=3$ is $\frac{3}{4}(81) \pi$, so the difference (the boundary of the region enclosed) is $60 \pi$.
For the question 2. In the OP I don't see an RHS. (?)
If the RHS is from Green's theorem, than it is:
$$
\int \int _D\left(\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}(2x-y^3)-\dfrac{\partial}{\partial x}xy \right) da
$$
where $da$ is the area element. So, using the same substitution and $da= rdrd\theta$ in polar coordinates, we have:
$$
\int \int _D\left(-y+3y^2 \right)dx dy= 
$$
$$
\int_0^{2\pi} \int_1^3 \left(-r\sin \theta+3r^2 \sin^2 \theta \right)r dr d\theta= \int_0^{2\pi}\left(\frac{-26}{3}\sin \theta+60\sin^2 \theta \right)d \theta = 60 \pi
$$
