was 3times as many minutes past 9am​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it be x minutes to 12

so time is 12hr – x min = 9 hr + 3x min – 44 min

3hr = 3x – 44 + x min

180 min = 4x – 44 min

4x = 136

x = 34

Answer 2

34 minutes before 12 noon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume t minutes to 12..

The required equation will be $12hr-tmin=9hr+3t min-44min$

$180min=(4t-44)min$

Therefore,

Value of t will be $\\4x=136\\t=34$.

hence,34 minutes to 12..
