Question

A football team gains 18 yards in one play and then loses 12 yards in the next. What is the team's total yardage?

Answer 1

The teams total yardage is 6 yards

Answer 2

Answer: 6 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The gain in play to the football team = 18 yards

By using integers , it can be written as +18.

The loss in the next play = 12 yards

By using integers , it can be written as -12

Then, the team's total yardage is given by :-

$\text{Total yardage}=18\text{ yards}-12\text{ yards}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Total yardage}=6 \text{ yards}$

Hence, the team;s total yardage = 6 yards.
