how many minutes is it before 12 noon if 20 minutes ago it was three times as many minutes after 9 am

1 answer:

7 0

First, change everything into minutes.
12 noon is 12 by 60 which = 720 minutes.
9am is 9 by 12 which = 540 minutes.
X is now your number of minutes before noon.So noon - x is the next step:
720 - x
20 minutes ago it was 720 - x - 20
720 - x - 20= 540 + 3x (3x because you're looking for 3 times as many minutes)
720 - 20 - 540=4x (you combine all the like numbers and variables)
160 = 4x
160/4= x
40 = x
Your answer is 40 minutes

Maria is comparing the prices of two window cleaning companies. Company A charges $6 per window and an additional $12 as service

Pani-rosa [81]

Part A: 6w + 12 = 5w + 15

Part B: 6(8) + 12 = 5(8) + 15
48 + 12 = 40 + 15
60 = 55 = Company B equals $55 which is less than $60

Part C: $5 is saved because of the amount of money.
Hope this helps :)
