2) Steve is watching a football game. His team loses 6 yards and then gains 3 yards. He doesn't watch the next play, but afterwards he sees that his team now has a total gain of 4 yards. How many yards did the team gain or lose on the play Steve missed.

1) Start with 425. Then, take away 140 from it. It equals 285, right? Then, add 80 to that. That equals 365, so 365 ft. is your answer.

I am not amazing at math so I couldn’t help on the 2nd one. Hope this could sort of help!
