Question

4/10

A football team lost 5 yards on the first play. On the second play, the team lost another 2 yards.
Then the team gained 3 yards. After three plays, what is the net change in yardage?

Answer 1

-4 yards

Some people find this helpful to picture or draw on a number line. Start at zero, go left to -5. Go 2 more spaces/marks left to -7, then go right three spaces to -4.
