Question 281613: y= -1777 + 27,153 can be used to predict the number of y of gun deaths in the United States x years after 2000. That is x = 0 corresponds with 2000, x = 2 corresponds with 2002, x = 6 corresponds to 2006 and so on. Predict the number of gun related deaths in 2006 and 2008. In what year will the number of gun related death be 11,160?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am guessing your question states:
y=+-1777x+%2B+27%2C153
for 2006, x = 6 y=+-1777%286%29+%2B+27%2C153+=+highlight%2816491%29
for 2008, x = 8 y=+-1777%288%29+%2B+27%2C153+=+highlight%2812937%29
for the last question, we need to let y = 11,160
+11160+=+-1777x+%2B+27153
+-15993+=+-1777x
+x+=+9
Your answer will be highlight%282009%29
