Question

Kevin delivers newspapers in his town every morning. The amount he earns from delivering newspapers is given by y = 30x + 18, where y is the amount he earns in cents and x is the number of houses he delivers newspapers to. However, he is paid a certain amount even if he doesn't deliver any newspapers on a certain day. How much is he paid if he doesn't deliver any newspapers? (x 0, y 0)

Answer 1

When x=0 in the equation (no delivered papers), y = 0 + 18 = 18.

Kevin is paid 18 cents if he doesn't delivery any newspapers.
