You would take the systems and set them in y= form. The 30$ per month with $.35 per minute, well, we will call it equation \"a\", and the second equation will be \"c\". So in equations, we set them up in y=mx+b format, right? So we take equation a and we set in format. The b is the y intercept and in a, the b would be $30 . Our new and improved equation is now y=mx+30.\r<BR>\n" );
