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

The book starts with 360 pages and the number of pages remaining decreases by 40 every hour. Therefore, the equation that describes the relationship between t (time in hours) and N (number of pages remaining) is:

N = 360 - 40t
