The net number of yards lost by the cowboys football team is; 8 yards.

<h3>How many yards did the team gain or lose?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the number of yards gained or lost by the football team during each of the three plays is; gained 7 yards, lost 8 yards and then lost 7 more yard.

Hence, by polarising yard gain as positive and yard loss as negative; we have;

Net total = 7 - 8 -7 = -8

Hence, the team lost 8 yards in the total game.
