AnswEr:-
Given that,
They are down by seven points then it means that they are losing by 7 points.
And two-point field goal so they will now be down by 5 points.
That means that they need 5 more points to tie the game.
=> -7 represents the points that they are down by and they made 2 points so ,
=> -7 + 2 = -5 which means that they are now down by 5 points to make a tie game.
