Question 254199: the equation y=1777x+27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the US 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 2008. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 11,160? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Are you suggesting that y is the number of gun deaths for a given year x?
then just plug in 4 and 8 for x for the first two questions and 11,160 for y for the final question.
