the equation y=-1777x+27,153 can be used to predict the number y of gun deaths in the united sttes x years after 2000, that is, x=0 corresponds to 2000,x2 corresponds to 2002, x=6 corresponds to 2006, and so on. predict the number of gun deaths in 2006 and 2007. in what year will number of gun death be 11,160?
For 2006, substitute 6 for x in the equation and compute y.
There will be 11,160 deaths when
11,160 = -1777x + 27,153
Solve for x. If you do it right, you will get an integer. Add it to 2000 for the year.
