3 240
4 200
Which equation describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book?

A. N=-40t -360

B. N=-40t+ 360

C. N =40t+360

D. N=40t-360

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine the relationship between t and N, we can look at how the number of pages remaining decreases over time.

The number of pages remaining decreases by 40 pages every hour. So, the rate of change is -40 pages per hour.

Since Monique starts with 360 pages, the initial number of pages remaining can be represented by the equation N = 360.

The equation that describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book is:

N = -40t + 360

Therefore, the answer is:

B. N = -40t + 360
