Question

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=4 corresponds to 2004, and so on. Predict the number of gun deaths in 2004 and 2008. In what year will the number of gun deaths be 9383?

The predicted gun deaths in 2004 ???
the predicted gun deaths in 2008 ???
the predicted number of gun deaths will be 9383 in the year ?????

Answer 1

for the first two parts, simply replace x with 4 and 8.

for the last part, set
9383 = -1777x + 27153
1777x = 17770
x = 10

so the year would be 2010

Answer 2

I get it thank you

But I still can't get 2004, and 2008 right could you help?
