y=-1777x%2B27153+
in 2005

y=-1777%2A5%2B27153
y=-8885%2B27153
y=18268.......... answer for 2005


in 2007
y=-1777%2A7%2B27153
y=-12439%2B27153
y=12714.......... answer for 2007


in year x will be 12937

12937=-1777%2Ax%2B27153

1777%2Ax=27153-12937

1777%2Ax=14216

x=14216%2F1777

x=8............so, in year 2008 will be 12937
