<h3>Answer: 10 years old</h3>

Work Shown:

s = son's age

(father's age)/(son's age) = 9/2

45/s = 9/2

45*2 = s*9

90 = 9s

9s = 90

s = 90/9

s = 10

The son is 10 years old.

Answer: desktop = $1750, laptop = $1900

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the cost of the desktop

then x + 150 is the cost of the laptop.

.07x + .055(x + 150) = 227

.07x + .055x + 8.25 = 227

.125x = 218.75

x = 1750

desktop (x) = $1750

laptop (x + 150) = $1750 + $150 = $1900
