What time of the day is it, if 36 minutes ago the number of minutes to 10 AM is 5 times the number of minutes past 7 AM? Thanks for help.

Convert the times to minutes   10  = 600     7 = 420

600 -x = 420 + 5x

x = 30                   600 - 30 = 570   ====>        so     36 minutes ago it was 9:30    making the time now  =  10:06
