Question 207571: 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 2003, x=6 corresponds to 2006 and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2008. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 9383?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! y= -1777x + 27,153
y=-1,777*6+27,153
y=-10,662+27,153
y=16,491
------------------------
y=-1,777*8+27,153
y=14,216+27,153
y=12,937
---------------------------
9,383=-1,777x+27,153
1,777x=27,153-9,383
1,777x=17,770
x=17,770/1,777
x=10 or the year 2010
Gun deaths in 2006=16,491
Gun deths in 2008=12,937
Predicted number of gun deaths will be 9383 in the year=2010
