Answer:

The answer to your question is: The family consumed = 540 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

$ 0.08 for each of the first 300 kWh

$0.13 for each kWh over 300 kWH

Electric bill = $55.20

First, calculate if the family consume more than 300 kWh

                          300 x 0.08 = $24  that is lower than $55.2 so they consume more than 300 kWh

                       

Calculate the difference between what they pay and the cost of 300 kWh

                             $55.20 - 24 = $ 31.2

Now, rule of three

                             1 kWh -----------------   $0.13

                             x         -----------------    $31.2

           x = (31.2)(1) / 0.13 = 240 kWh

The family consumed = 300 + 240 = 540 kWh

krek1111 [17]

Perimeter = (20 + 2x) mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus pupil has length 20 mm and the expression for its area is given by (20x - 200) square mm.

If the width of the octopus pupil is w, then 20w = 20x - 200

⇒ w = (x - 10) mm.

Therefore, the expression for its perimeter is 2(Length + Width) = 2 ( 20 + x - 10) = 2( 10 + x) = (20 + 2x) mm. (Answer)

Talja [164]

Answer:

It can be written as 2(x-3)(x-3)  or 2(x-3)².

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 12x + 18 = 2(x² - 6x +9) = 2(x-3)(x-3)  =2(x-3)²
