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
