How many yards must be gained after a loss of 3 yards to have a total gain of 10 yards?
To find out how many yards must be gained after a loss of 3 yards to have a total gain of 10 yards, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume the number of yards gained after the loss of 3 yards is represented by 'x'.
Total gain = Loss + Gain
10 yards = (-3) yards + x
Now we can solve for 'x'.
To do that, we can add 3 yards to both sides of the equation:
10 yards + 3 yards = x
x = 13 yards
Therefore, in order to achieve a total gain of 10 yards after a loss of 3 yards, an additional 13 yards must be gained.
