Question

A football team received 2 penalties for 15 yards each, 7 penalties for 5 yards each and 1 penalty for 19 yards. Write and find the value of an expression to the change in the field position from those penalties

Answer 1

Answer:

-84 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The football team receiving a penalty will have negative number of yards.

For the first penalty, they received two 15 yard.

Total yards = 2(-15)

= -30 yards

For the second penalty , they received seven five yards

the total yards= 7(-5)

= -35 yards

for the last penalty, they received one 19 yards

Total yards= 1(-19)

= -19 yards

x= -30 + (-35) + (-19)

x = -30-35-19

x = -84 yards
