the equation y =1777x +27,153 could be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the united states x years after 2000 that is x=0 corresponds to 2000 x=2 corresponds to 2002 x=5 corresponds to 2005 predict the numbers of gun deaths in 2005 and 2009 in what year will the number of gun deaths be in 7606?

Question

the equation y =1777x +27,153 could be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the united states x years after 2000 that is x=0 corresponds to 2000 x=2  corresponds to 2002 x=5 corresponds to 2005 predict the numbers of gun deaths in 2005 and 2009 in what year will the number of gun deaths be in 7606?

anonymous · Answer

for 2005$$x=5,  y=1777(5) + 27,153 = 8885 + 27,153 = 36,038$$for 2009$$x=9,  y=1777(9) + 27,153$$to find what year will have 7606 deaths, solve the eq $$7606 = 1777x+27,153$$
