In football, advancing the ball 10 yards gains a first down. The quarterback got sacked on first down for a loss of 8 yards, on a second down a running play gained 5 yards and on third down a pass gained 12 yards. Did the team get a first down?

NO is the answer start with 10 yards add 8 cuz of the loss so you are at 18 yards then ran 5 13 yards to the first down the a 12 gain you are short by 1 yard of the first down
