Question 387930: If a scuba diver starts at sea level,the pressure of the diver at a depth of d feet is given by the formula P = 45d + 2,025, where P represents the total pressure in pounds per squre foot. Suppose the current pressure on a diver is 2,565 pounds per sq. ft. What is the diver's current depth???

P = 45d + 2,025.
2,565 = 45d + 2,025, solve for d.
540 = 45d, or
d = 12 feet.
