I don’t know about the part on ignoring k. I did it by considering k, and then cancelling it off on both sides.

n(10)=50-200+k = -150+k

To find the day where the number of bees equals that on the 10th day,
n(t)=n(10)
0.5t^2 - 20t + k = -150 + k

You should see how k cancels off, and you can solve for t from there.
