Answer:

Mother is presently 34

Scott is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mother's age = x

Let the son's age = y

First Equation

x + y = 45

Second equation

3*(x + 5) - 9 =  y+5                Add 9 to both sides

3(x + 5) = y + 5 + 9

3(x + 5) = y + 14                    Remove the brackets

3x + 15 = y + 14                    Subtract 14 from both sides

3x + 15 - 14 = y

3x + 1 = y

Put the first equation into the second equation

x + y = 45                             Subtract y from both sides

y = 45 - x

Put this value for y into the second equation's results.

3x + 1 = 45 - x                       Add x to both sides

3x + x + 1 = 45                    

4x + 1 = 45                            Subtract 1 from both sides

4x = 45 - 1

4x = 44                                Divide by 4

x = 44/4

x = 11

x + y = 45

11 + y = 45

y = 34

The faces of a rectangular solid are square.<br> always<br> sometimes<br> never
Sonja [21]

Answer:

sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can consider the example of a cuboid.

It is a rectangular solid whose all faces are made of rectangles.

But if we will consider a example of cube; which is also a kind of rectangular solid whose all faces are made up of square.

so we can get some solids whose faces are other than squares as well and some whose faces are squares.

Hence, we could say that:

The faces of a rectangular solid are sometimes square.
