Respuesta :

The number of years that a person in Japan is expected to live based on the equation will be 87 years.

The equation given in the question is represented as: y = 0.28x + 73.

Since x is the number of years since 1970, using 2021 as an illustration, then x will be:

= 2021 - 1970 = 51

Therefore, putting the value of x back into the equation will be:

y = 0.28x + 73.

y = 0.28(51) + 73

y = 14.28 + 73

y = 87.28

Therefore, the life expectancy is 87 years.
