Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
Given the question:
Play 1: Quarterback was sacked for a loss of 4 yards
Play 2 : Another loss of 10 yards
Play 3: a gain of 12 yards
Write an addition expression to represent the situation. Then find the sum and explain its meaning.
A loss of 4 yards = - 4
Loss of 10 yards = - 10
Gain of 12 yards = + 12
Addition expression for the scenario :
(-4) + (-10) + 12
Result :
-4 + (-10) + 12
= - 4 - 10 + 12
= - 14 + 12
= - 2
Hence, after two consecutive losses of 4 and 10 yards, the team wins 12 yards on the third play and the aggregate yards lost is reduced to 2 yards.
