Answer
775,344 bankruptcies in 2007
1,344,095 bankruptcies in 2009
Work Step by Step
2007 bankruptcies = $x$
2009 bankruptcies = $y$
$y = 2x-206593$
$x + 568751 = y$
$2x - 206593 = x+568751$
$2x - 206593-x+206593 = x+568751-x+206593$
$x = 774000+751+593$
$x=774000+1200+144$
$x=775344$
$x + 568751 = y$
$775344 + 568751 = y$
$1344095 =y$
