Question 262276: The equation y = -1777x + 27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the U.S. x years after 2000, that is , x = 0 corresponds to 2000, x = 2 corresponds to 2002, x = 4 corresponds to 2004, and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2008. In what year will the numbver of gun deaths be 9383?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
plug in 4 for x and solve for y to get the gun deaths in 2004
plug in 8 to dothe same for 2008
plug in 9383 for y to get the year . add 2000 to the year
