Question 193303: Here's a word problem I bet you don't see very often. I don't understand the number of gun deaths in this country anyway, never mind how to predict them in an algebra problem. Please, I really need help on this one. Than-x
The equation y=-1777x+27,153 can be used to predict the number of gun deaths in the United States x years after 2000, that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=3 corresponds to 2003, x=6 corresponds to 2006 and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2009. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?
Than-x again, I'm very greatful.

As per requested, see similar problem below:
Problem# 189627:
The equation y=-1777x+27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the U.S. x years after 2000. that is x=0 corresponds with the year 2000, x=2 for 2002, x=6 for 2006 and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in the year 2006, and 2009.
2006=
2009=
What year will the gun deaths total 9383?
Let's put the Eqn y = -1777x + 27153 into graph and see the comparison of # of gun deaths vs year:
---> As you see, Number of Gun deaths is going down over the years.
Predicting Number of Gun Deaths in 2006 ==> x=6:
, Number of gun-deaths (2006)
Number of Gun deaths for 2009 ==> x=9:
, Number of gun-deaths (2009)
***
This is very similar to Problem #189627, EXCEPT for the last question - "in what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?"
Please refer to the same problem that was solved before, and we'll do the last question:
*Remember: x = number of years & y = number of gun deaths.
If y= 7606, susbtitute to our Eqn,
---> Number of years when deaths = 7606.
See graph,
Thank you,
Jojo
