Question

A football team received 3 penalties for 15 yards each, 1 for5 yards, and1 for half the distance to the goal from the 34- yard line. Write and find the value of an integer expression to find the total change in their field position from these penalties.

Answer 1

The first penalty they received is three 15 yards so total yards is 3(15 yards)
the second penalty is one 5 yard
the last penalty is half the 34 yard line(34 yard)/2
total change = 3(15 yards) + 5 yrad + (34 yard)/2
= 45 yards + 5 yards + 17 yards= 67yards
