The third option is correct
<span>the equation that most accurately depicts the word problem
is
3xn=$3.85
proof
n=</span>
<span>n=$3.85/3=$1.28
the price is $1.28 per pound, 3 pound costs 3x$1.28=$3.85

If the length of the short leg is "a" then the length of the long leg should be "2a" and since the point is on the x axis the point is (2a,0) because the y=0
You're answer is the third one, you gotta divide the money by the hours worked and then compare.
The quotient is x^3 + 4x^2 -x + 1.
Solution:
By polynomial grid division, we start by the divisor 3x + 10 placed on the column headings.
3x 10
x^3 3x^4
We know that 3x^4 must be in the top left which means that the first row entry must be x^3. So the row and column multiply to 3x^4. We use this to fill in all of the first row, multiplying x^3 by the terms of the column entries.
3x 10
x^3 3x^4 10x^3
4x^2
We now got 10x^3 though we want 22x^3. The next cubic entry must then be 12x^3 so that the overall sum is 22x^3.
3x 10
x^3 3x^4 10x^3
4x^2 12x^3
Now we have 40x^2, so the next quadratic entry must be -3x^2 so that the overall sum is 37x^2.
3x 10
x^3 3x^4 10x^3
4x^2 12x^3 40x^2
-x -3x^2 -10x
This time we have -10x, so the next linear entry must be 3x so that the overall sum is 7x.
3x 10
x^3 3x^4 10x^3
4x^2 12x^3 40x^2
-x -3x^2 -10x
1 3x 10
The bottom and final term is 10, which is our desired answer. Therefore, we can now read the quotient off the first column:
3x^4+22x^3+37x^2-7x+10 / 3x + 10 = x^3 + 4x^2 -x + 1
