(x+2)(x+8) = x^2 +10x +16
(x^2 + 10x + 16)(x-1) = x^3+9x^2+6x-16, so the other dimension is x-1
3 log 2x = 4
==> log 2x = 4/3
==> 2x = 10^(4/3)
==> x = \frac{10^(4/3)}{2}
It's slightly ambiguous because the year isn't an even number of weeks, so sometimes that extra day falls on a weekend and sometimes on a weekday. We'll assume a weekend; that makes the numbers come out nice.
Total working days, 52 five day weeks minus 30 days vacation

So his daily rate is
dollars per day
Answer: A
It's closer to $518 when we count the extra day as a weekday.
