Answer:
[tex](2 \times (-15))-(-6)[/tex] is the sea lion's position in relation to sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance of seal below the sea level = 15
Distance of lion below the sea level = 6 feet less than two times as deep as the seal
To Find:
Expression representing the sea lion's position in relation to sea level = ?
Solution:
Distance of lion below the sea level = 6 feet less than two times as deep as the seal
Two times as deep as the seal
=>[tex]2 \times \text{position of seal}[/tex]
=> [tex]2 \times 15[/tex]
But it is 6 feet lesser
=>[tex](2 \times 15)-6[/tex]
Since it is below the free level, we use negative symbol
So the position of the lion in relation to the sea level is
=>[tex](2 \times (-15))-(-6)[/tex]
