The equation Y=-1777x + 27153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the united states x years after 2000 That is x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=2 corresponds to 2002, x=6 corresponds to 2006 and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2008. What year will the number of gun deaths be 9383?
