PLEASE HELP! WILL FAN AND MEDAL football player gains 7 yards, loses 4 yards, and gained 12 yards. Write his gains and losses as integers. If he started at zero where does he end up?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

Let's think of a gain as positive integers, and a loss as negative integers. How would you write each phrase as an integer? "gains 7" "loses 4" "gains 12"

OpenStudy (themathasker):

+7 -4 +12 ?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

perfect. So those are the integers. When you add them all up, you will find his net distance (total gain or loss)

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

yep
