Explanation:
Positive integers represent yards that the team gains. On the opposite side, negative integers represent yards the team loses.
For example, if a team gains 3 yards, then we write that as +3 or simply 3. If a team loses 5 yards, then we write -5. Adding 3 to -5 gets us 3+(-5) = -2 showing the overall result is a loss of 2 yards at the end of the second down.
As another example, if a team gains 7 yards on first down, but then loses those 7 yards on second down, then they gained overall 7+(-7) = 0 yards overall. They haven't gone anywhere at the end of the second down.
We could do things the other way around like this. Suppose the team loses 8 yards on first down, but has better luck on second down to gain 8 yards. They get back to the original line of scrimmage (back to the starting point) and we can say -8+8 = 0. The team hasn't gone anywhere, but it could be worse and they could be dealing with a loss of yardage.
It might help to set up a vertical number line to help try to visualize negative numbers. Each gain means you go upward. Each loss means you go downward. In a sense, it's like a skyscraper and each integer represents floors of the building. Negative integers are basement floors. Zero is the ground level.
