Explanation:

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
