    Carly has already written 35 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.

    Let m be the number of months. We have the pages written function P(m) as:
    P(m) = 12m + 35

    The problem asks for P(5):
    P(5) = 12(5) + 35
    P(5) = 60 + 35
    P(5) = 95
