Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Answer : The team Dolphins gained 5 yards over the 2 plays.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information is -

The Dolphins football team gained 16 yards on their first play

And then lost 11 yards on the next play.

Means they had 2 plays.

When we have two conditions and have to apply addition expression, we put brackets around A and B as they are expressions, and not simply numbers.

Then the addition is supposed to apply to whatever A and B may contain.

So, the addition expression to represent this given situation is:

16+(-11)16+(−11)

= 5

Answer : The team Dolphins gained 5 yards over the 2 plays.
