Larry plays quarterback for the Eagles. During the team's opening football game, the Eagles have the ball 48 yards away from the goal line. On the first play, the Eagles gain 31 yards on a pass toward the goal line. On the next four plays, the Eagles lose 3, 5, 7, and 4 yards, respectively. What is the distance between the ball and the goal line after these five plays?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The initial distance between ball and the goal line = 48 yards
Since on the first play, the Eagles gain 31 yards on a pass toward the goal line.
Then, the distance between ball and the goal line after first play = 48-31=17\ \text{yards}48−31=17 yards
Also, on the next four plays, the Eagles lose 3, 5, 7, and 4 .
The distance between ball and the goal line after five plays =17+(3+5+7+4)17+(3+5+7+4)
=17+(19)=36\text{ yards}=17+(19)=36 yards
Hence, the distance between the ball and the goal line after these five plays= 36 yards
Atkins was up 26-15 when head coach Marlon Brim was given a technical after getting upset that a referee was admonishing one of his players. Brim demanded to know what the official was saying to his player, and the referee said he was telling the young man that he had to keep his facemask on under this year’s rules.
