In what year will the gun deaths be 9383?

Explanation / Answer

2. For 2009, we plug in 9 for x and findy=-1777(9)+27153=11160 deaths. 3. To find the year (x) when the deaths will be 9383, we plugin 9383 for y and solve for x. 9383=-1777x+27153 so -17770=-1777x by subtracting 27153from both sides. Then we divide both sides by -1777 to find x=10.So the year 2010 is the answer.
