Calculate pay the pythonic way!

algebra.py

# in algebra we learn y = m * x + b
# In python that would look like this

# A function takes inputs, processes them and returns a a single item.  
# This single item can be a numeric, a string, or something liek a dictionary or tuple
# in some advanced cases a function returns another function (we aint' goin' there)!

# What do these functiosn do?
