We are given the situation that your team loses 8 yards on four plays in a row. And you are being asked which expression shows the total loss in yards, our key word in this question is "loss" . Meaning that the result has to come out negative.

Therefore , A. is incorrect because -4 * -8 is 36 . Which is positive.

B. is incorrect because it is positive outcome

And D. is incorrect because one it is not the correct property to use and also is very inaccurate in the answer. Also, it is a positive outcome.

Leaving you with C.

Answer:

$w = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

ST = w + 6,

PR = w

From the diagram given, we can deduce that PR is the midsegment of ∆QST. Therefore, according to the midsegment theorem:

PR = ½ of ST

Plug in the values into the equation and solve for w.

$w = \frac{1}{2}(w + 6)$

$w = \frac{w}{2} + 3$ (distributive property of equality)

$w - 3 = \frac{w}{2}$ (subtraction property of equality)

$2(w - 3) = \frac{w}{2}*2$ (multiplication property of equality)

$2w - 6 = w$

$2w - 6 - 2w= w - 2w$ (subtraction property of equality)

$- 6 = - w$

Divide both sides by -1

$6 = w$

$w = 6$
