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
