If a is the x-intercept, b is the y-intercept, and m is the slope of the line with equation x/4 + y/18 = 1, then what is the value of a + b + m?

When you multiply the equation by 36, you get: 9x+2y=36

 

The x-intercept is 4, because the equation is true when y = 0. 

 

The y-intercept is 18 by the same logic. 

 

The slope is 184.

 

Thus, a+b+m=18+4184=____
