Question

Craig carried the football two times for a total of -2 yards. He carried

the football for 3 yards on his first carry. What is the number of yards
that Craig carried the football on his second carry?​

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Craig carried the football twice, for a total of -2 yards. On the first time he carried it for 3 yards. To solve this problem, create an algebraic expression.

3+x=-2

3+x-3=-2-3

x=-5

Therefore, on the second time, Craig carried the football -5 yards.
