Let it be 'x' mins to 6 o' clock. Total no of mins between 3 to 6 180 mins. so we can also translate the words into this equation {(180-x)-50}/4 x x 26 mins.

Hi When you say ((180-x)-50) 4x is the 'x' in 4x signifying the no of mins past 3 'oclock ?If yes then there is a contradiction in the assumption you are making that 'x' is the no of mins to 6 o clock. If No then there is contradiction with the Question.Please clarify!Thank you.

total time from 3-6 is 180 mins.50 mins ago means 180-50 130minsand this time x mins to 6+4x mins past 3(say current time is x mins to 6)so 4x+x 130x 26 minsso time is(6-26) or (3+26*4+50) 5:34
