Question

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 = 5 corresponds to 2005, and son on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2005 and 2009. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 9383?

Gun deaths in 2005?
Gun deaths in 2009?
Gun deaths will be 9383 in the year??

Answer 1

Subtract 2000 from each of those years and plug that value in for X. then plug and chug out the math to get Y for each one.

Answer 2

36,038
43,146
x=-10 so 1990

Answer 7

yea.....

Answer 8

Alright, so let's start.

Answer 9

Answer 10

uw

Answer 11

The qeustion I have posted right now is a big one.

Answer 12

this one right?

Answer 13

right.

Answer 14

in 2005, 5 years =
y = 1777x + 27,153
y = 1777(5) + 27,153
y = 36 038

Answer 15

In 2009, 9 years =
y = 1777x + 27,153
y = 1777(9) + 27,153
y = 43 146

Answer 16

In last part, solve for x,
9383 = 1777x + 27,153

Answer 17

Doesn't make sense. With thos calcuations, the number of gun deaths will go down rather than up.

Answer 18

LOL. why they will come down?

Answer 19

36,000 in 2005....43,000 in 2009, and 9,383 in the year???

Answer 20

The equation in every day terms says that gun deaths increase by 1777 per year. With gun deaths being at 27,153 in the year 2000.

Answer 21

I doubt that the equation u typed in is incorrect.

Answer 22

y = 1777x + 27,153

y = -1777x + 27,153

which one?

Answer 23

Maybe I typed it wrong

Answer 24

LOL, so which one now?

Answer 25

Well if it's negative then that makes more sense. Because when it's positive you'll get 1990 as the year with 9383 deaths. Which is invalid assuming the trend (equation) only applys to 2000 onwards.

The year will be 2010 if it's -1777

Answer 26

Let me do this again....
y = -1777x + 27153 to predict the # of gun deaths in the US x yrs after 2000, that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000, x=3 corresponds to 2003, x = 5 corresponds to 2005, and so on. Predict the # of gun deaths in 2005 and 2009. In what year will the # of gun deaths be 9383?

Answer 27

in 2005, 5 years =
y = -1777x + 27,153
y = -1777(5) + 27,153
y = 18 268

In 2009, 9 years =
y = -1777x + 27,153
y = -1777(9) + 27,153
y = 11 160

Answer 28

In the last one,
y = -1777x + 27,153
9383 = -1777x + 27,153
x = 10
means after 10 years.

2000+10 = 2010.

Answer 29

So the # of gun deaths have gone down?

Answer 30

Right, now.

Answer 31
