Answer:
The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total change in yardage after 2 plays is the sum of the yardage of each play.
What lost yardage means?
Lost yardage means negative yardage.
Imagine that in a Buffalo Bills game, Devin Singletary lost 2 yards on his first carry. So his total yardage is -2.
If in the next carry he gets 3 yards, his total yardage is 1. If he loses 1, his total yardage is -3.
First play
Loss of 5 yards.
So the first play counts for -5 yards.
Second play
Loss of 5 yards.
So the second play counts for -5 yards.
Total
-5 - 5 = -10
The change is a loss of 10 yards, so -10 yards.
