PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Life expectancy in the U.S. is steadily increasing due to medical advancements and the increased awareness of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The life expectancies for men and women in the U.S. can be modeled by the following functions:
W(x)=0.126x+76.74
M(x)=0.169x+69.11
where W(x) represents the life expectancy for women and M(x) represents the life expectancy for men, and x represents the number of years since 1975. (x = 0 corresponds to the year 1975, x = 5 corresponds to the year 1980 and so on.)
Write an inequality that represents in what years the life expectancy of men is greater than that of women.
a.0.169x+69.11 > 0.126x+76.74
b.0.169+69.11 < 0.126x+76.74
c.0.169x+69.11<0.126x+76.74
d.0.169x+69.11 = 0.126x+76.74

Answer:

a. 0.169x+69.11 > 0.126x+76.74

Step-by-step explanation:

So, there's a lot of talk in the question statement.  Of course, it presents some important data... but it's also meant to confuse you.

We can boil it down to the following life expectancies :

Men =  0.169x+69.11

Women = 0.126x+76.74

Then they ask you to write with that men have a greater life expectancy than woman using the models above.

Start by writing the goal:

men > women

Then replace "men" by the model and "women" by the model:

0.169x+69.11 > 0.126x+76.74

And you have your answer.

Answer:

A
