Question
Use the formula for determining blood pressure difference from normal, $P_{d}=|P-120|,$ to solve each problem.Calculate the $P_{d}$ value for a woman whose actual systolic blood pressure is $116 .$
Step 1
The given blood pressure, $P$, is $116$. So, we substitute $P = 116$ into the formula $P_{d}=|P-120|$. Show more…
