Answer 1

Answer:

96 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

This is basically just a huge addition problem that we can tackle (heh) in our heads.

If we gain yards, then we add.

If we lose yards, then we subtract.

If we started out at 50, the expression is

$50 + 7 + 2 - 1 + 4 - 5 + 27 + 4 + 5 + 0 + 3 - 2 - 1 + 1 + 2$.

We can use the associative property of addition to simplify this. I'm just grouping together things that look easy to do in my head.

$50 + (7 + 2) - 1 + 4 - 5 + (27 + 4) + (5 + 0 + 3) (- 2 - 1) + (1 + 2)\\\\50 + 9 - 1 + 4 - 5 + (31 + 8) (-3 + 3)\\\\(50 + 9) - 1 + 4 - 5 + 39 \\\\59 - 1 + 4 - 5 + 39 \\\\58+4 + (-5+39)\\\\62+34\\\\96$

Hope this helped!
