EASY MATH QUESTION! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! (MUST EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER!) By the end of the first quarter of a football game, Gary had gained 42 yards and had lost 9 yards. Gary lost an additional 18 yards and gained 58 yards in the second quarter. Write an equation to represent his total yardage for the first half of the game.

Answer 1

Answer:

+73 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the first two quarters, we can simply work out the yardage for each game and add them together to get the total.

42-9 = 33 (first game)

58-18 = 40 (second game)

Therefore his total yardage was +73.

Answer 2

42-9-18+58 = 73.

Hope this helped!
