Answer:


\large\boxed{-1\,\text{yards}}

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to find how many yards that the panthers gained, specifically net gain.

To get our answer, we would pretty much add and subtract to find how many yards the panthers gained or lost.

We know that the panthers:

  • Gained 5 yards
  • Lost 8 yards
  • Gained 2 yards

With the information above, we can find the answer.

We're going to need to find how many yards they gained after the plays.

We would add and subtract.

Solve:


5-8 = -3\, \text{yards}\\\\-3+2= -1\,\text{yards}

When you're done solving, you should get -1

This means that the panthers net gain is -1, meaning that they lost 1 yard after all of the plays.

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
