    Carly has already written 35 pages of a novel. She plans to write 12 additional pages per month until she is finished. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total number of pages written at 5 months.

    Set up the equation where m is the number of months:
    pages per month * m + pages written already
    12m + 35

    The problems asks for m = 5:
    12(5) + 35
    60 + 35
    95 pages
