The baby shark swims +3feet below sea level every passing day.

x= the number of days that passed

y= represents the deph the baby shark swims

y=3x

If the number of days that pased is 5 then

y=3*5=15ft

In five days, the baby shark will swin 15 feet below surface.

You can also solve this problem using cross multiplication

1day_____3feet

5days____x= (5*3)/1=15feet
