The Schwartz family spent a total of $111.75 for Internet service for 3 months. Each month they received $5.50 as a credit on the bill. Which equation and solution shows the cost of their monthly Internet service before the credit? 3 (x + 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $31.75 3 (x minus 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75 One-third (x minus 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75 One-third (x + 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $31.75

3 (x + 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $31.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = monthly cost of internet service

Each month they received $5.50 as a credit on the bill.

The Schwartz family spent a total of $111.75 for Internet service for 3 months.

Total cost of internet service for three months = 3(x + 5.550)

111.75 = 3(x + 5.50)

111.75 = 3x + 16.50

111.75 - 16.50 = 3x

95.25 = 3x

x = 95.25 / 3

= 31.75

x = $31.75

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y
