Question

Dari was watching a football game. The team he was cheering for gained 6 yards on one play. It lost 8 yards on the next play and lost another 2 yards on the following play. What is the net change in field position after these three plays?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial gain: 6 yards.  ------------------------- (let it be c1)

Change 2: -8 yards.(as they are losing) ------------------------- (let it be c2)

Change: -2 yards.        ------------------------- (let it be c3)

Net Change =

       c1 + c2 + c3

    = 6 + (-8) + (-2)

    = 6 - 8 - 2

    = - 4

Thus, their field position would be losing 4 yards
