    x will represent the number of tickets.

    y will represent the fixed fee given by the ticket agency

    6x + y = 135

    3x + y = 75

    To solve, we can use the process of elimination by multiplying the second equation by - 2 so that 6y will cancel:

    -6x - 2y = - 150

    +6y + y = 135

    Now we simplify by adding/subtracting:

    -y = - 15 or y = 15

    Plug the value of y into any of the two equations and solve for x. I will use the second equation:

    3x + 15 = 75

    3x = 60

    x = 20

    To set this up in slope intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to identify what m and b are.

    m is x because it is not a fixed number, and b is y because it is a fixed number (price of "fixed" fee). This brings us to y = 20x + 15
