A football team just

finished two plays. A sack
for a loss of 6 yards and
then a pass completion for
9 yards. What was the total
change in yards?

use -6 to represent losing 6 yards

use -5 to represent losing 5 yards

add these together

(-6) + (-5) = -11

when adding two negative values, make sure your sum is negative
