A football team gains 2 yards on the first play,loses 5 yards on the second play, loses 3 yards on the third play , and gains 4 yards on the fourth play. What is the teams overall gain or loss for all four plays show work
When the team gains yards we use a positive value, and when the team loses yards we use a negative value. So the operation would be 2 -5 -3 +4 = -2, this means that the team had a 2 yard loss.
