Question 1018256: In certain deep parts of oceans, the pressure of sea water, P, in pounds per square foot, at a depth of D feet below the surface, is given by the following equation:
P= 13+ 6d/13
If a scientific team uses special equipment to measures the pressure under water and finds it to be 343 pounds per square foot, at what depth is the team making their measurements?

--------------
343 = 13 + 6d/13
------
6d/13 = 330
------
d/13 = 55
------
d = 715 ft
