Question

In football, a team must gain 10 yards to get a first down. The team gains 6 yards on the first play, loses 3 yards on the second play, and gains 8 yards on the third play. Which expression can be used to decide whether the team gets a first down?

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes. 6-3+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Yards to get a first down = 10

Yards the team gained in first play = 6

Yards the team lost in the second play = 3

Yards the team gained in the third play = 8

6 - 3 + 8 = 11
