There’s this word problem which is really hard for me because I’m really bad at word problems and this one is really hard to understand so if there is an easy solution could anyone give it to me?

Question

Word problem: The formula for determining the pressure, p, exerted on an object at a depth, h, below the surface of a liquid is p = s + dgh, where s is the atmospheric pressure, d is the density of the liquid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Which formula represents h in terms of p, s, d, and g ?

Answer choices:

A) h= p/s + dg (and p/s is A fraction)

B) h= p-s/dg

C) h=ps−dg

D) h=ps+dg

Answer 1

The problem has nothing to do with a "word problem." It could have been stated:

Solve the following formula for "h."

p = s + dgh

p - s = dgh

(p - s) / dg = h

B. is the closest, yet missing parenthesis.
