Question

@Reaper534

A football team lost 9 yards on first down and 4 yards on second down. It gained 5 yards on third down.

How many yards does it need to gain on fourth down to have a 10-yard gain from its starting position?

A.
2 yd

B.
8 yd

C.
13 yd

D.
18 yd

Answer 1

x -9 - 4 + 5 = 10
x - 13 + 5 = 10
x - 8 = 10
x = 10 + 8
x = 18

not sure if I set it up right...you might need to get a second opinion

Answer 2

because when I keep looking at it...if he lost 13 yards, then gained 5...that would put him at 8...needing only 2 yds.
Not sure about this....
