Search Results for "The equation y=-1777+27153 can be used to predict the number y gun deaths i the United States x years after 2000, that is x=0 corresponds to 2000 x-3 corresponds to 2003 x=6 corresponds to 2006 and so on predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2008. In what year will the number of deaths be 9383"

y=-1777+27153

I assume you mean
y = -1777 x + 27153

In that case x = (year - 2000)
y = -(1777)(year-2000) + 27153

for example in 2006:
y = -(1777) (6) + 27153
= -10662 + 27153
= 16,491

just keep using that equation:
y = -(1777)(year-2000) + 27153

To predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2008 using the equation y = -1777x + 27153, where x represents the number of years after 2000, we can substitute the corresponding values for x into the equation.

For 2006 (x = 6):
y = -1777(6) + 27153
y = -10662 + 27153
y = 16491

So, the predicted number of gun deaths in 2006 is 16,491.

For 2008 (x = 8):
y = -1777(8) + 27153
y = -14216 + 27153
y = 12937

Therefore, the predicted number of gun deaths in 2008 is 12,937.

To find out in which year the predicted number of deaths will be 9,383, we can rearrange the equation to solve for x:

y = -1777x + 27153
9383 = -1777x + 27153
Subtracting 27153 from both sides:
-1770 = -1777x

Dividing both sides by -1777:
x ≈ -1770 / -1777
x ≈ 0.995

Since we're calculating the number of years after 2000, x = 0.995 would correspond to approximately the year 2000. Therefore, there is no specific year given in which the number of deaths will be 9,383, based on the information provided.
