Question

Bridget needs an actor. Actor a is offering her services for an initial $285 in an addition to $45 per day. Actor B is offering her services for an initial $240 in an addition to pay $50 per day. When will the two actors charge the same amount of money?

Answer 1

Answer:

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
