Let x be the original position.
After the first play they gain 9 yards. The position can be represented by
x + 9
After the second play they lose 22 yards. The position can be represented by
x + 9 - 22 = x - 13
Therefore, in total they lost 13 yards.
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
In total, Emily has
yards of ribbon.
Each bow requires
yards of ribbon
<em>To figure out, we divide total amount of ribbon by amount each bow needs:</em>
Number of bows = 
So the maximum number of <em><u>"complete"</u></em> bows Emily can make is 14
Each term can be multiplied by 12 because 12 is the least common multiple
