Tom has read the first 40 pages of a book. He plans to read another 12 pages each day Write an equation that represents the relationship between the total number of pages, p, and the number of days he has been reading, d.

Algebra

The equation that represents the relationship between, and the number of days he has been reading, d is p = 40 + (12 * d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom has read the first 40 pages of a book.

He plans to read another 12 pages each day

Since the total number of pages is p

And the Number of days required to read the book is d

if Tom read 12 pages per day, then in d days he would read 12 * d pages

h/e has already read 40 pages of the book

Then total pages of the book

p = 40 + (12 * d)

Hence, The equation that represents the relationship between, and the number of days he has been reading, d is p = 40 + (12 * d)
