In day 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to find the equations first:

Actor A = 285 + 45x

Actor B = 240 + 50x

(x represents the days, which is the variable)

to find the exact time, you need to equal actor a and actor b

Actor A = Actor B

285 + 45x = 240 + 50x

45x - 50x = 240 - 285

-5x = - 45

x=9
