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

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> number of pages that Polina read

y ----> number of pages that Marcus read

we know that

x+y=108 ----> equation A

x=5y -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

5y+y=108\\6y=108\\y=18

Find the value of x

x=5y -----> x=5(18)=90

therefore

The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18

Eight hot dogs and seven hot dog rolls cost $\$13.60$. Seven hot dogs and eight hot dog rolls cost $\$13.40$. How much, in dolla
Maru [420]

Answer:

$1.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a hot dog = x

The cost of a hot dog roll = y

Eight hot dogs and seven hot dog rolls cost $\$13.60$.

8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1

Seven hot dogs and eight hot dog rolls cost $\$13.40$.

7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2

Combining both Equation

8x + 7x = $13.60..... Equation 1

7x + 8x = $13.40...... Equation 2

Eliminating x

Multiply 1 by 7

Multiply 2 by 8

56x + 49y = 95.2..... Equation 3

56x + 64y = 107.2 ..... Equation 4

Subtracting 4 from 3

-15y = -12

y = -12/-15

y = 0.8

Cost of one hot dog roll = $0.8

Solving for x

8x + 7x = $13.60

8x + 7(0.8) = 13.60

8x + 5.6 = 13.60

8x = 13.60 - 5.60

8x = 8.0

x = 8.0/8

x = 1.

Cost of one hot dog = $1.0

The cost in dollars of a hot dog and a hot dog roll cost combined is

x + y

= $1 + $0.8

= $1.80
