16. EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem As a scuba diver descends into deeper water, the pressure of the water on the diver’s body steadily increases. SCUBA DIVING The pressure at the surface of the water is 2117 pounds per square foot ( lb/ft 2 ). The pressure increases at a rate of 64 pounds per square foot for each foot the diver descends. Find the depth at which a diver experiences a pressure of 8517 pounds per square foot.

17. SOLUTION EXAMPLE 1 Write a verbal model. Then write an equation. Find the depth at which the pressure is 8517 pounds per square foot. P = 2117 + 64d Write equation. STEP 1 STEP 2 EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem

18. GUIDED PRACTICE Substitute 8517 for P. 8517 – 2117 = 2117 – 2117 + 64d Subtract 2117 from each side. 8517 = 2117 + 64d 6400 = 64d Simplify. Divide each side by 64. 100 = d Simplify. ANSWER A diver experiences a pressure of 8517 pounds per square foot at a depth of 100 feet. 64 6400 64 = 64d EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem

19. GUIDED PRACTICE P = 2117 + 64d Write original equation. Substitute 8517 for P and 100 for d. Multiply 64 and 100. Simplify. Solution checks. 8517 2117 + 6400 ? = 8517 2117 + 64(100) ? = CHECK EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem 8517 = 8517

20. GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 4 WHAT IF? In Example 4, suppose the diver experiences a pressure of 5317 pounds per square foot. Find the diver’s depth. 9. ANSWER 50 ft
