The equation y=1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the United States x years after 2000m that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=3 corresponds to 2003, x=4 corresponds to 2004, and so on.
\n" ); document.write( "Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2009.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 in 2004
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1777*4 + 27153
\n" ); document.write( "y = 34624
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "x = 9 in 2009
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1777*9 + 27153
\n" ); document.write( "y = 43146
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( " In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?
\n" ); document.write( "7606 = 1777x + 27153
\n" ); document.write( "1777x = -19547
\n" ); document.write( "x = -11
\n" ); document.write( "--> 1989
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
