  1. This word problem translates to:

    8 + (-15) + 10 =

    8 - 15 = -7

    -7 + 10 = 3

    Net yardage: 3

    I hope this helps :)


  2. Gains are positive and

    Losses are negative

    Therefore 8 - 15 + 10

    So 3

    Net yards covered : 3 yards

  3. 3

  4. 3 !!!!!


  5. "gains" = add

    "loses" = subtract

    +8-15+10 = +3
