y=-1777x+27,153
2004=-1,777*4+27,153
2004=-7,108+27,153
2004=20,065 ans.
2009=-1,777*9+27,153
2009=-15,993+27,173
2009=11,180 ans
7,606=-1,777x+27,173
7,606=-1,777x+27,173
1,777x=-7,606+27,173
1,777x=19,567
x=19,567/1,777
x=11.01 or the year 2011 the gun death will be 7,606.
Proof:
2011=-1,777*11.01+27,153
2011=-19,564.77+27,153
2011~7,606
You also asked to predict the number of deaths in the year 7606.
7606=-1,777*5,606+27,173
7606=-9,961,862+27,173
7606=-9,934,689 deaths. Not a valid ans.

D=RT
THE DISTANCES ARE THE SAME THUS:
100T=120(T-12/60)
100T=120T-120*.2
100T=120T-24
100T-120T=-24
-20T=-24
T=-24/-20
T=1.2 HOURS AFTER TRAIN A LEAVES THE STATION THEY WILL MEET.
PROOF:
100*1.2=120(1.2-.2)
120=120*1
120=120

D=RT
R=D/T
R=1330/5
R=266 MPH WITH THE WIND.
R=1330/7
R=190 MPH AGAINST THE WIND
(266-190)/2=76/2=38 MPH IS THE WIND SPEED.
pROOF:
266-38=228 MPH FOR THE PLAN'S SPEED IN STILL AIR.
190+38=228 DITTO.

3*35+.24x=3*41+.16x
105+.24x=123+.16x
.24x-16x=123-105

x=18/.08
x=225 miles driven would make the 2 rentals the same for the 3 days.
Proof:
105+.24*225=123+.16*225

1/2 of a pizza is the same as 3/6 of a pizza
1/3 of a pizza is the same as 2/6 of a pizza.
Now if you add these two partial pizzas you'll get 3/6+2/6=5/6 of a pizza.
Perchance you try to add/multiply 1/2 & 1/3 you could get 2/5, 2/6 or 1/6 depending on if you multiply or add.
