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

Answer:
3x+3
x+x+x+1+1+1 could also work but it's not simplified
I'm pretty sure my answers are right so please don't be upset if they aren't
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
10 + 15k
Factor out the greatest common factor 5
5( 2+3k)
Rewriting
5(3k+2)
Rami is correct if a=2 then his expression is 5(3k+2)
Kenneth
yk+6+8k+4
Add the terms together
k(y+8) + 10
If y =7 then Kenneth is correct otherwise he is incorrect
