Reasoning In a certain country, the life expectancy of a man born in 1996 was 81.1 years. In 2006,
the life expectancy was 0.4 years greater. If L represents the life expectancy of a man born in 2006,
what equation could you use to find the value of L? Use pencil and paper. Could two different
equations be used to find the value of L? Explain your reasoning.
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. L+81.1 = 0.4
O B. L+0.4 = 81.1
OC. L-10= 0.4
