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 = 14 + (4 d)/11

If a scientific team uses special equipment to measures the pressure under water and finds it to be 66 pounds per square foot, at what depth is the team making their measurements?

no "scientifik" wood yuze pound per square ft

em yuze straenj terms like dines/sq cm

NE resunabel persun get pressure relativ tu aer pressure at see level,

so water presshuer=0 at deep=0

######## but kan solv a equashun if yu ignore all logik

p=14 +(4/11)d=66, so apparentlee need tu find d

p-14=(4/11)d

d=(p-14)/(4/11)  =(p-14)*(11/4)

p=66, so d=(66-14)*(11/4)

=52*11/4=572/4 =143
