Hi

y = 1777x +27153 can be used to predict the number of gun deaths 

in the united states x years after 2000



The predicted gun deaths in 2006 = 1777*6 + 27153

The predicted gun deaths in 2008 = 1777*8 + 27153

The predicted number of gun deaths will be 9383 in the year?

   y = 1777x +27153 

   9383-27153 = -17770 = 1777x  x = -10 OR year 1990
