Answer: The son is 30 and the mother is 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Mother's age = m
Son's age = s
m = s + 30
m-15 = 3(s - 15)
m - 15 = 3s - 45
m = 3s - 30
(Substitution)
s + 30 = 3s - 30
2s = 60
s = 30
m = 60

The length of the envelope is 6.3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Width of the envelope = 3 inches
Diagonal of the envelope = 7 inches
To find:
The length of the envelope.
Let the length of the envelope be 'l'
We can use pythogoras theorem to calculate the length.
l = √(49-9)
l = √(40)
l = 6.3 inches
The length of the envelope is 6.3 inches
When a number is next to a variable multiply so you problem really is 2(?)=60
