United States x years after 2000, that is x=0 corresponds to 2000,x=3 corresponds to 2003 x=4 corresponds to 2004, and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2009. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?
The predicted gun deaths in 2004 will be _____.
The predicted gun deaths in 2009 will be ______.
The predicted gun deaths in 7606 in the year _____. 1 solutions
Answer 137804 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-02-24 15:50:45 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!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

Travel_Word_Problems/183571: A certain aircraft can fly 1330 miles with the wind in 5 hours and travel the same distance against the wind in 7 hours. What is the speed of the wind? 1 solutions
Answer 137791 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-02-24 15:01:32 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!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.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!X+(X+1)+(X+2)=132
3X+3=132
3X=132-3
3X=129
X=129/3
X=43 ANS. FOR THE FIRST NUMBER.
43+1=44 ANS. FOR THE SECOND NUMBER.
43+2=45 ANS. FOR THE LARGEST NUMBER.
PROOF:

Numeric_Fractions/183123: Can someone help me explain this in words. Use pizza as an example for explaining how and why you must get a common denominator before adding the fractions 1/2 and 1/3. 1 solutions
Answer 137514 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-02-22 10:03:00 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!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.

(simplify your answer) 1 solutions
Answer 137439 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-02-21 18:03:12 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!L=W+6
PERIMETER=2L+2W
114=2(W+6)+2W
114=2W+12+2W
114=4W+12
114-12=4W
102=4W
102/4=W
25.5=W FOR THE WIDTH
L=25.5+6=31.5 FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*25.5=2*31.5=114
51+63=114
114=114

The shortest side is 30 yards longer than one-half of the longest side. The second longest side is 2 yards shorter than the longest side. What is the length of each side? 1 solutions
Answer 137437 by checkley77(12569) on 2009-02-21 17:51:02 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!S=30+L/2
M=L-2
S+M+L=378
(30+L/2)+(L-2)+L=378
30+L/2+L-2+L=378
L/2+2L=378-30+2
2.5L=350
L=350/2.5
L=140 YDS. FOR THE LONG SIDE
S=30+140/2
S=3+70
S=100 YDS. FOR THE SHORT SIDE.
M=140-2
M=138 YDS. FOR THE MIDDLE SIDE.
PROOF:
140+138+100=378
378=378
