Answer 1

linear equations;15m+10=w

15 pages written for every month for 5 months plus the 10 pages she has already written is equal to the total number of pages written in 5 months m=number months written in this case it is 5 months.

w=number of pages written in 5 months 15(5)+10=w

75+10=w

85 Pages written=w

will have written 85 Pages in 5 months
