Answer:

they need 23 yards to keep possession of the ball

Explanation:

they must gain 10 yards to keep the ball.

Word form

First you do 10 times 4 equals 40

Second you do 40 minus 18 equals 22

Third you do 22 plus 5 equals 27

Last you do 27 minus 4 equals 23

They would need 23 yards to keep possession of the ball.

Math form

10*4=40

40-18=22

22+5=27

27-4=23

I hope this is correct and if it is i hope it helps.
