The team scored one field goal, that's +3. They gave up two touchdowns, that's -14. They scored another field goal, another +3. They gave up a safety, that's -2. They gave up a final field goal, that's -3. So you have:

3 - 14 + 3 - 2 -3 = 3 - 17 - 2 -3 = 3 - 12 = -9

So they lost by 9 points.

shadowfiend · Answer

Er... No. 3 - 17 - 2 - 3 = 3 - 22 = -19

Heh. So they lost by 19 points, like bsanchez said :)

anonymous · Answer

Beach Channel High School's football team scored one field goal (3 points) and gave up two touchdowns (14 points) in the first quarter. 
(3 - 14)
In the third quarter, they scored another field goal and gave up a safety (2 points).
(3 - 14) + (3 - 2)
They gave up a final field goal in the fourth quarter.
(3 - 14) + (3 - 2) + (-3)
By how much did they lose? 
(3 - 14) + (3 - 2) + (-3) = 3 - 14 + 3 - 2 - 3 = -13
They were down 13 at the end of the game.
