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
