The equation y = -1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number of gun deaths in the U.S. 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 2007. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 12,937?
\n" ); document.write( "The predicted gun deaths in 2006 will be -1777*6+27,153 = 16491
\n" ); document.write( "The predicted gun deaths in 2007 will be -1777*7+27,153 = 14714
\n" ); document.write( "The predicted number of gun deaths will be 12,937 in the year___
\n" ); document.write( "Solve -1777x+27,153 = 12,937 for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "-1777x = -14216
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
