You first need to convert everything to minutes:

12 noon = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes

9 am = 9 x 60 = 540 minutes

Let x = number of minutes before noon

The time now is 12 noon -x = 720 -x minutes

48 minutes ago it was 720-x-48

720 -x - 48 = 540 + 2x

720-48-540 = 3x

x = 44 minutes

It is 44 minutes before noon, or 11:16 am

How many minutes before 12 noon is it if 72 minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 9am?

It is 36 minutes before noon, or 11:24 am.This is how I got it...Change all hours into minutes by first multiplying them by 60. For example, 1 o'clock would be (1) (60) or just 60.Noon or 12 = 720 and 9am = 540Now for X.X will be current time in minutes before noon and that equals noon-x or 720-x.Now, 72 minutes ago was current time... minus 72That make the equation 720-x-72Those minutes have to be twice as many past nine so you can write 540+2xNow, those two equations have to balance so 720-x-72=540+2xafter you subtract 540 from both sides and add x to both sides, you are left with 108= 3xdivide both sides by 3 and BOOM...3636 minutes before noon is 11:24Now to check...11:24 is 2hrs or (120 minutes) + 24 minutes past 9144 minutes11:24 minus 72 minutes (1hr + 10 minutes) is 10:12from 9 until 10:12 is72 minutes(2) (72)= 144.... It checks out.
