+y+=+8x+%2B+25+
a)
She made 7 deliveries
+x+=+7+
+y+=+8%2A7+%2B+25+
+y+=+56+%2B+25+
+y+=+81+
She earns $81

b)
If she makes 5 deliveries:
+y+=+8%2A5+%2B+25+
+y+=+40+%2B+25+
+y+=+65+
She earns $65
----------------
c)
She made no deliveries, but went to work
+y+=+8%2A0+%2B+25+
+y+=+25+
She was paid $25
