$x-\ money\ that\ each\ of\ them \ had\ previously\\\\
4(x-58)=x-37\\\\
4x-232=x-37\ \ \ | subtract\ x\\\\
3x-232=-37\ \ \ | add\ 232\\\\
3x=195\ \ \ | divide\ by\ 3\\\\
x=65\\\\
Each\ of\ them\ had\ 65\$\ at\ the\ beginning.$

Answer:

We conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

$A\:=p^2-2p-3$

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angled triangle,

Base = p+1

Perpendicular = 2p-6

Using the formula to determine the area of the right-angled triangle

Area of the right triangle A = 1/2 × Base × Perpendicular

$=\frac{1}{2}\left(p+1\right)\left(2p-6\right)$

Factor 2p-6: 2(p-3)

$=\frac{\left(p+1\right)\times \:2\left(p-3\right)}{2}$

Divide the number: 2/2 = 1

$=\left(p+1\right)\left(p-3\right)$

$\mathrm{Apply\:FOIL\:method}:\quad \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd$

$=pp+p\left(-3\right)+1\cdot \:p+1\cdot \left(-3\right)$

$=pp-3p+1\cdot \:p-1\cdot \:3$

$=p^2-2p-3$

Therefore, we conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

$A\:=p^2-2p-3$

Hence, option A is correct.
