why is it a negative seven?????

You add each gained yard together. Lost yards are negative gained yards. The total net yardage is -7, which means the team loses 7 yards with the 3 passes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 7 yards or -7 yards???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gain of -7 yards of loss of 7 yards. Either one is a good answer.
