The pressure on a diver can be calculated using the formula p = 15 + 1 2 d, where p is the pressure in pounds per square inch and d is the depth in feet. find the depth of a diver when the pressure on the diver is 37 pounds per square inch.

deep =1.83 feet

Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this.

in this case, you have two equations and two variables, all you need to do is solve the equation for  D

Step 1

Equation 1

P = 15 + 1 2D

where P is the pressure in pounds per square inch and D is the depth in feet

Step 2

Equation 2

Find the depth of a diver when the pressure on the diver is 37 pounds per square inch.

P=37

Step 3

Put the value of equation 2 into equation 1 and solve for D

P = 15 + 12D

P=37

37= 15 + 12D

subtract  15 in both sides

37-15=-15+15+12D

22=12D

divide by 12 in both sides

22/12=12D/12

D=11/6

deep =1.83 feet

I hope it helps,Have a great day.
