X = 12, because there is only one answer that has a number bigger than 9 :)
Answer:
His position is now on -18 below sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
So since Tomas is 15 feet below sea level, that means that it's -15. He rose 9 feet which now he is -6 feet below sea level. Now he descends 12 feet which means he goes back down and now he is at -18 below sea level.
What you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property if f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2) split the 1st binomial f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2) now apply the distributive property to get
f(x)=x2−2x+3x−6
which simplifies to
f(x)=x2+x−6
