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

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)
