Answer:

y = 5000 - pd

Explanation:

Nola fits together p pieces a day of a 5,000-piece puzzle.

Now, initially at the time (t) = 0 days, the number of pieces of the puzzle was 5000.

If there are y remaining pieces of puzzles to fit after d days of work and the number of the puzzle that Nola fits together each day is p pieces, then we can write the equation that models the situation as

y = 5000 - pd (Answer)
