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?
