Answer 1

Given:

On three consecutive passes, a football team gains 10 yards, loses 19 yards, and gains 21 yards.

To find:

An addition fact that corresponds to the given sentence and the number represents the total net yardage.

Solution:

It is given that first football gains 10 yards then loses 19 yards and then again gains 21 yards.

The gaining is shown by a positive sign and the loss is shown by a negative sign.

So, the addition fact is given below:

`+10-19+21`

Now, the resultant of the above expression is the total net yardage.

`\begin{gathered} +10-19+21=+31-19 \\ =+12 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the total net yardage is 12 yards.
