Under water, pressure increases 4.3 pounds per square inch (psi) for every 10 feet you descend. This is represented by the equation p = 0.43d + 14.7, where p is the psi and d is the depth in ft. Find the pressure at 200 feet.

in this equation d represents feet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I really don't know... :/
OpenStudy (eyust707):
wait im soryy
d equals depth every ten feet... so if d=20 what does p =?
OpenStudy (eyust707):
well lets plug it in

p = .43(d) + 14.7
put in d
d= 20
p = .43(20) +14.7
OpenStudy (eyust707):
what is 20 times .43 ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8.6
OpenStudy (eyust707):
great! so:
p = 8.6 + 14.7
OpenStudy (eyust707):
what is 8.6 + 14.7 ?

ohh lol we used the wrong d.. instead of 20 we should have used 200
OpenStudy (eyust707):
if we used 200 we would have gotten 100.7
OpenStudy (eyust707):
same idea tho i promise
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol. Ok. Thank you for helping me with this(: I appreciate it. :)
