Don't give up!
x = 9y
x + 9y = 12 hours (12 hours between noon and midnight)
12 hours = 12 x 60 minutes = 720 minutes.
Trying to lead you in the right direction...

Let's have x be the number of minutes in the answer.
And you know that x + 9x equals the total number of minutes between midnight and noon.
Does that help?
