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) = 0.126 x + 76.74. M (x) = 0.169 x + 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 to determine the birth years of women whose life expectancy is at least 85. a. 0.126 x + 76.74 less-than-or-equal-to 85 b. 0.126 x + 76.74 greater-than-or-equal-to 85 c. 0.126 x + 76.74 less-than 85 d. 0.126 x + 76.74 = 85 Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D
