Answer:

The required expression is 20+9-4-(-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

We will use the "+" sign for gains and "-" sign to represents the loss.

A football player starts on the 20 yard line and gains 9 yards. This can be written as: 20+9

On the next play, he loses 4 yards. This can be written as 20+9-4

The referee says there is a penalty and takes away the 4-yard loss of yardage. This can be written as:

20+9-4-(-4)

Hence, the required expression is 20+9-4-(-4).
