Question 205960: I know a similar question has been answered but I am still confused. Please help
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.
Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2009. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2009.
x = 4 in 2004
y = 1777*4 + 27153
y = 34624
----------
x = 9 in 2009
y = 1777*9 + 27153
y = 43146
---------
In what year will the number of gun deaths be 7606?
7606 = 1777x + 27153
1777x = -19547
x = -11
--> 1989
