The equation y=-1777x+27,153 can 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 3 corresponds to 2003, x =5 correspnds to 2005, and so on. predict the number of gun deaths in 2005 and 2008. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 11, 160 ?
The predicted gun deaths in 2005 will be ______
The predicted gun deaths in 2008 will be ______
The predicted gun deaths will be 11,160 in the year _______

jamesj · Answer

So what value of x corresponds to 2005?

jamesj · Answer

and for that value of x, what is 1777x ?

anonymous · Answer

5 to  2005

jamesj · Answer

Now evaluate y=-1777x+27,153 for x = 5

anonymous · Answer

yes i believe so

jamesj · Answer

First, what is 1777x if x = 5?
