Question 183568: The equation y=-1777x+27,153 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=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! 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.
